Maldives Immigration has added one-time password (OTP) verification to the Traveller Declaration that foreign visitors complete on the IMUGA portal, effective 9 November 2026, according to its announcement as reported by Voice. A code is sent to the email address entered on the form, and travellers must enter it to submit.
The requirement to complete the declaration within 96 hours before arrival is unchanged. Immigration advises travellers to give a correct email address that they can access. Parents or guardians submitting a declaration for an infant may use their own email addresses.
