- Tourist Visa on Arrival for Indian Passport Holders
Indians don’t require a pre visa on arrival to enter into the Maldives. You will be given the 30 days tourist visa on arrival at the Maldives Aiport - Velana International Airport. Also, the immigration process ends in the few minutes. You must have six months passport with validity, a confirmed return ticket, ensuring that you will not stay in the Maldives for business purpose.
- Transportation in The Maldives
The Maldives is surrounded and sits in 99% glasses of water and 1% land. So, it is obvious that the most preferred mode of transportation in the Maldives is ferries, speedboats, and seaplanes. The speedboats are used to transfer travelers to the resorts that are within the 40 to 50 km from the airport.
However, the seaplane ride is the best thing to do in the Maldives, but it is beyond the budget of travelers who are seeking an affordable Maldives tour package. Seaplane rides are used to transport guests to the private island resorts that are far and remote located islands.
