Getting a visa for the Maldives is generally straightforward for most travellers, as the Maldives offers a visa-on-arrival for tourists from most countries.

When traveling to the Maldives, you will primarily fly into Velana International Airport (MLE), which is the main international airport serving the Maldives. The airport is located on Hulhulé Island in the North Malé Atoll, near the capital city, Malé.
