Exemptions
The following categories of travellers are exempt from the pre‑departure COVID‑19 PCR testing requirement:
- All Passengers and airline crew travelling to the Maldives are exempted from pre‑entry PCR requirement, if they have completed the prescribed dose(s) of a COVID‑ l9 Vaccine approved by the World Health organization in Emergency Use Listing (EUL) or the Maldives Food and Drug Authority and at least 14 (fourteen) days have passed after the prescribed doses(s), Prior to entry into the Maldives.
- Children below one year old
- Flight crew arriving on General Declaration and not exceeding a stay of 7 days
Passengers who have recovered from COVID‑19
Check with the resort you're staying at before canceling your test appt. STR still requires a negative PCR test result (96hrs) to enter their property regardless of vaccination status and what Maldives entry requirements are (they responded to my inquiry today).
