Free Maldives visa

Visitors to the Maldives, an archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean, now can get free, 30-day tourist visas upon arrival. To qualify, a visitor must have a valid passport, a return ticket out of the Maldives and proof of financial capacity to cover expenses while in the Maldives (measured at $150 a day) or a hotel reservation.

A visitor can extend his visa to a total of 90 days by filling out a Visa Extension Application Form with the Department of Immigration for an additional fee of MVR750 (near $49).
