Do I need a visa for Maldives from Romania?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Romanian nationals receive a tourist visa on arrival in the Maldives; there is no prior consular application, but an online travel declaration (IMUGA) is mandatory before the flight.
The Maldives grants a tourist visa on arrival to Romanian travellers, with no embassy step. The key formality to arrange in advance is the IMUGA travel declaration, completed online in the days before arrival and again before departure. Bring a valid passport and a confirmed accommodation booking.
Do you need a visa?
You do not need a visa arranged in advance. A Romanian citizen receives a free tourist visa stamped on arrival at Malé international airport, subject to meeting entry conditions. The online step you must not forget is the IMUGA declaration, which is separate from the visa itself.
How and where to apply
There is no visa file to submit to a Maldivian consulate. The Romanian traveller completes the travel declaration on the official imuga.immigration.gov.mv portal, generally within 96 hours before arrival, then receives the visa at the immigration counter. The same IMUGA declaration must be repeated before leaving the Maldives.
Documents and fees
Have a Romanian passport valid for at least six months beyond entry, a confirmed hotel or resort booking, a return or onward ticket and sufficient funds. The tourist visa on arrival is normally free; any applicable charge and the validity period should be confirmed on the official portal. The IMUGA declaration itself is free.
Processing and tips
The IMUGA declaration is filled online and validated quickly; complete it within the allowed window before your flight to receive the code to present. Check that the name and passport number match your document exactly. Keep the accommodation booking confirmation handy, as it is often requested at immigration.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is confusing the automatic visa on arrival with the mandatory, self-completed IMUGA declaration: skipping IMUGA can block boarding or entry. Avoid third-party paid sites that mimic the IMUGA portal, and remember to submit the declaration again before leaving the Maldives.
