In light of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in India, Maldives has decided to will temporarily suspending Indian tourists for stays at guesthouses and local hotels in residential Maldivian islands. Under the released order signed by Director General of Public Health Maimoona Aboobakr, the restrictions will take place from April 27, 2021.


As per the released travel restrictions order, travelers from India to Maldives (including those who have spent over 24 hours in transit in India) are required to present proof of a negative PCR test taken no more than 92 hours before when entering Maldives. This includes those who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.


Maldivian citizens and work permit holders who arrive in Maldives from India, including those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19, are required to get a PCR test done within 24 hours upon arrival, and undergo 10 days of quarantine. They will be released from quarantine once they test negative upon completion of the quarantine period. This does not include children under the age of one year.


Indian tourists are also required to undergo a PCR test prior to departure from Maldives. While Indian tourists will no longer be permitted to check in to hotels and guesthouses in residential islands starting April 27, those already checked into hotels and guesthouses will be allowed to stay at such facilities till the completion of their booking duration. However, this ban does not apply to resorts and hotels located away from the local population.
