The Maldives are the most recent location to remove travel restrictions put in place during the epidemic of recent years. According to the Maldives' Ministry of Tourism, the on-arrival PCR testing has been done quordle with from March 5, making it simpler than ever to visit the island paradise. In addition, PCR testing will no longer be necessary of vaccinated passengers who want to stay on a populated island. The Maldives still require all visitors to fill out a Traveler Health Declaration form no later than 48 hours after touching down. Those who want to forgo vaccinations will still need to demonstrate results from a negative PCR test conducted no more than 96 hours before departure. Infants are not required to pay.
If at least 14 days have elapsed after a tourist got the last dose of their primary vaccination series, they will be considered fully immunized in the Maldives. Being completely immunized does not need a booster injection. Previously, the U.S. Mission in Maldives said that visitors needed to fill out a Traveler Health Declaration and produce documentation of a negative COVID-19 PCR test done within 96 hours of their journey. Guests leaving any inhabited island's guesthouse were also required to provide documentation of a negative PCR test conducted during the preceding 72 hours.
Because of the "extremely high" rate of COVID-19 transmission in the Maldives, the CDC advises U.S. citizens to "avoid" visiting the country at this time.
The Maldives are now in step with the many other nations across the globe that have loosened or eliminated their admission requirements. Regardless of whether or not you've been vaccinated, Ireland has lifted its COVID-19 travel ban this week. Last month, Iceland followed suit, similarly dispensing with border regulations for those who have and have not been vaccinated. In addition, France is exempting fully vaccinated tourists from any pre-departure testing, and Israel has begun accepting them despite a lack of vaccination, but tight testing processes have been put in place.
This week, Puerto Rico will lift all internal travel restrictions connected to the epidemic, and later this month, Hawaii will do the same for its Safe Travels program.
