Connecting through another country?
This page covers a direct flight to Maldives.

Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
What to know before you go

US travel advisory: Maldives — Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution)
INFOThe US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. Maldives: Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution (as of 2025-10-07). Review the country page for the specific areas and risks flagged before you go. This is a US State Department safety perspective, not an entry or boarding rule — it doesn't affect whether you can board, only what to be aware of on the ground. Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.
Fill out Maldives Traveller Declaration before you fly
WARNMaldives (MV) requires every traveller to submit the Maldives Traveller Declaration for entry — best done a few days before departure rather than in the airport queue. Without it, expect to be pulled aside at the border or denied boarding. Apply at: https://imuga.immigration.gov.mv
