The rest of the trip for an Israeli passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Maldives entry requirements.
Skip the form. $4.99 a traveller.
A NUM person files the Maldives Traveller Declaration on imuga.immigration.gov.mv for everyone in your group. NUM’s fee is $4.99 and the form itself is free. You answer any eligibility questions yourself, the decision goes to your own email, and your passport details are deleted the moment it’s filed. NUM isn’t the government and can’t promise approval.
The details for an Israeli passport.
Entry is refused on Israeli passports from 15 April 2025. Dual nationals entering on another passport are not covered by this rule but should check before travel.
How long it must be valid.
At least 1 month remaining on arrival, with a machine-readable zone (MRZ). Passports with manually extended validity are refused. US State Dept lists 6 months beyond arrival, and some airlines may apply stricter rules.
