Egypt has made the decision to grant visa on arrival to Maldivian nationals traveling to the country.
The on-arrival tourist visa allows all Maldivian passport holders to enter and stay in Egypt for a maximum period of 30 days from the day of their entry, with a visa fee of USD 25.
Foreign ministry said Maldivians intending to stay for a longer period or wishing to travel to Egypt for work or to attend an educational institution or to conduct business in the country will need to obtain an appropriate visa prior to their travel.
"The Government of Maldives considers this momentous decision by the Government of Egypt as a testament to the close and historic relations between the two countries and the high regard accorded to the Maldives by the Arab Republic of Egypt." the ministry stated.
