Entry and stay only. What this covers

Entry conditions1 to check
  • The entry ban is total and class-wide: entry into the Maldives on Israeli passports is prohibited effective 15 April 2025 and lasts while Israel continues the inhumane acts against the Palestinian people that began on 7 October 2023; no advance authorisation (visa, ETA or other) can be obtained that would permit entry on an Israeli passport while the ban stands.

Aevamo’s reading

The Maldives Immigration Act (Law 1/2007) is the statute that creates the visa and entry regime: s.7(c) admits a foreign national who presents a passport at an authorised port and files a disembarkation form, s.10(b) grants the tourist permit of up to 30 days from entry without fee, and s.8 as amended by Law 3/2025 lists those denied entry, including holders of Israeli passports. The Immigration page describes how the Act is administered and the gazette amends it; neither replaces it.

Maldives Immigration is the administering authority and its current page (updated 27/08/2025) states affirmatively that entry on Israeli passports is not granted effective 15 April 2025, which is a class-wide bar on the ISR travel document. The legal instrument creating the bar is Law 3/2025 amending s.8 of the Immigration Act, quoted in the condition below, which prohibits entry on Israeli passports and commenced on gazettal, 15 April 2025.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
