Azerbaijani citizens can travel to the Republic of Maldives without a visa. On an ordinary passport you may stay on the islands for up to 90 days. If your passport has less than six months of validity left, entry may be refused.

On arrival you must show a confirmed hotel booking and a return ticket; this is a standard requirement in coastal countries. Working or staying long-term is not covered by this arrangement.

The Maldives are among the most popular destinations for honeymoons and quiet beach holidays. The choice of resort largely determines the budget, and the transfer is often by seaplane or speedboat, which needs separate planning. Viza.az helps with tickets, the choice of resort and arranging the transfer.

Visa to the Maldives: frequently asked questions

No. Visa-free entry is available and you may stay on the islands for up to 90 days.

A confirmed resort or hotel booking and a return ticket. This is a standard requirement in coastal countries and is checked on arrival.

The transfer depends on where the resort is: a speedboat to the nearer islands, and a seaplane or domestic flight to the further ones. As seaplanes only operate in daylight, a late-arriving flight may mean a night in Malé.

Often not — the transfer is charged separately and can sometimes cost as much as a night’s stay. Be sure to allow for this cost when choosing a resort.

The choice of resort is the main factor deciding the budget. Overwater bungalows are more expensive; beach villas offer the same experience at a better price.

November to April is the dry season. May to October is the rainy period; prices are lower but the weather is changeable.

On arrival at the resorts, six months of remaining passport validity is checked; if this condition is not met, entry is refused.

We match the choice of resort to your budget, plan the type of transfer around your flight time and line up the ticket bookings.
