Rules in force · 8Malé pavements are narrow and shared with scooters
  • South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
  • South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
  • Maldives ↗Seaplane transfers fly in daylight only, and the last departure is set by sunset for that day; a late landing at Velana usually means a night on land and the seaplane next morning.
  • Maldives ↗Local islands follow Islamic norms: alcohol is not sold, cover shoulders and knees in the village, and swimwear is for the designated tourist beach only.
  • Maldives ↗Submit the online Traveller Declaration within 96 hours before arrival; airlines and immigration ask for the confirmation.
  • Malé Atoll ↗Open-water speedboat crossings are the first thing cancelled when the sea turns rough: keep a spare night in Malé when you have a same-day international flight.
  • Malé ↗In Malé and on local islands, cover shoulders and knees and leave swimwear for the tourist beach; at mosques, remove shoes and cover more.
  • Malé ↗Malé pavements are narrow and shared with scooters: large bags go from the taxi to the door, never on a walk.
