Maldives Travel Update 2025: Essential Information for Your Trip

Maldives Travel Update 2025: Essential Information for Your Trip

The Maldives continues to be a dream destination for travelers from around the world, offering pristine beaches, luxurious resorts, and crystal-clear waters. However, a few updates to the travel experience require visitors’ attention before they head to this tropical paradise. Here’s an overview of important changes in taxes, regulations, and other key Maldives travel updates for 2025 to help you plan your trip smoothly.

Departure Taxes and Airport Fees

A recent increase in departure taxes and airport fees requires all travelers’ attention.

  • Economy class passengers now pay $50 (up from $30).
  • Business class passengers pay $120 (up from $60).
  • First-class passengers face $240 (up from $90).
  • Private jet passengers are now charged $480 (previously $120).

These fees typically get included in your airline ticket, so you won’t need to pay them separately at the airport. These increased taxes support the wider effort to improve the infrastructure at Velana International Airport, ensuring it continues to serve as a world-class gateway for tourists.

Green Tax (GRT) Changes

The Green Tax, which funds the Maldives’ environmental sustainability efforts, has slightly adjusted:

  • Tourists staying at resorts, guesthouses, or on vessels will pay a Green Tax of $12 per day.
  • Infants under 2 years old are exempt from the tax.

This tax helps the Maldives maintain its delicate ecosystem and preserve its stunning natural beauty for future generations.

Tourism Goods and Services Tax (TGST) Update

The Tourism Goods and Services Tax (TGST) has increased from 16% to 17% in 2025. This could lead to small price adjustments in tourism-related services such as dining, activities, and accommodations, but it’s unlikely to drastically change your overall budget.

Visa and Health Documentation

While no significant changes have occurred in the visa process, keep the following in mind:

  • Visa on arrival: Most travelers will receive a 30-day visa upon arrival, free of charge. Just make sure your passport remains valid for at least six months beyond your planned return date.
  • IMUGA Declaration: Travelers must submit a Traveler Declaration via the IMUGA portal (https://imuga.immigration.gov.mv) at least 96 hours before departure. This simple form collects your basic health and travel history, and you’ll need to present the QR code at customs upon arrival.

These requirements remain in place, ensuring the smooth entry of tourists while maintaining public health safety.

Tobacco Regulations: Duty-Free Limits

If you plan to bring tobacco products into the Maldives, be aware of the updated duty-free import limits:

  • 200 cigarettes
  • 25 cigars
  • 250 grams of tobacco

Exceeding these limits may result in temporary confiscation by customs until your departure. Stricter regulations now apply to e-cigarettes.

Entry Restrictions for Israeli Passport Holders

Israeli passport holders are currently not allowed entry into the Maldives. Israeli nationals will need to use a different passport for entry, if applicable.

The Maldives is Still Waiting for You

The Maldives remains as enchanting as ever, with these minor changes helping to enhance the overall experience for tourists. From the increased taxes contributing to infrastructure upgrades to the environmental efforts supported by the Green Tax, the Maldives continues to invest in maintaining its status as a premier travel destination.

Though a few new fees and regulations require your attention, the country’s unparalleled beauty, luxurious resorts, and welcoming atmosphere make it well worth the trip. Your dream vacation is just a flight away!
