Entry rules for Macau passport holders
Macanese travelers can obtain their visa directly at the border or airport when arriving in Maldives. Bring a passport with at least six months' validity, passport photos, and the visa fee (often payable only in cash). Lines can be long at peak times, so check whether Maldives also offers an e-visa to skip the queue.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Maldives immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
