Discover visa requirements for your trip
Mexican nationals receive a tourist visa on arrival in the Maldives, with no prior consular step. Completing the online IMUGA declaration (and e-VOA where applicable) before your flight is still recommended to speed up airport clearance.
Leaving Mexico for the beaches of the Maldives? Good news: Mexican travellers do not need to visit a consulate, as the tourist visa is issued free of charge on arrival at Malé airport. Filling in the online IMUGA declaration in advance, and the e-VOA if you prefer, is still advisable to avoid queues.
Do you need a visa?
Mexicans are granted a tourist visa on arrival in the Maldives, without applying in advance at an embassy. An e-Visa/e-VOA may also be requested online before travel. In all cases, the IMUGA traveller declaration must be completed online before arrival.
How and where to apply
From Mexico, log in to the official IMUGA portal to complete the Traveller Declaration in the days before your flight, and request the e-VOA if you prefer to arrange the visa ahead. On arrival at Malé, the tourist visa stamp is issued after checks. No consular step is required.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Mexican passport valid for at least six months, an onward or return ticket, a confirmed booking at a registered accommodation, and proof of sufficient funds. The tourist visa on arrival is normally free, but as any e-VOA service fee is not confirmed here, check it on the official portal.
Processing and tips
Complete the IMUGA declaration within the stated window before arrival and keep the confirmation to hand. Make sure your accommodation booking covers the whole stay. As the e-VOA processing time is not guaranteed here, rely on the official portal.
Common mistakes
Do not forget to submit the IMUGA declaration, as its absence slows clearance at Malé. Watch for a passport dropping below six months' validity and for a missing or unregistered accommodation booking. If you transit a yellow-fever zone, a vaccination certificate may be required, so verify this with the official source.
