→ Maldives visa for Indian citizens

As an Indian passport holder, you'll be delighted to know that entry into the Maldives is visa-free, allowing for a comfortable stay of up to 90 days, perfect for exploring its stunning coral islands. This generous allowance is especially welcome given the typically short flight times from major Indian hubs like Kochi or Bengaluru, often less than 4 hours. While there are no visa fees to worry about for this tourist allowance, be mindful of the Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR) as the local currency, though US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas. Remember that while the Maldives boasts year-round sunshine, the shoulder seasons of April-May and September-October offer a pleasant balance of good weather and fewer crowds.
