There is no Maldives visa fee for Pakistanis. The Maldives gives every nationality a free tourist visa of up to 30 days on arrival, and the online traveller declaration is free too. What a Pakistani visitor does pay are three government charges in US dollars: the green tax for each night, and the departure tax and airport development fee on the flight out.
A couple spending 5 nights at a resort and flying home in economy pays US$320 in these charges, about Rs 88,582 at the State Bank rate of 23 October 2026. Change the nights, the type of stay and the class above for your own trip.

What you need for the free visa on arrival
The visa is stamped at the airport with no application in advance. Immigration checks that you have:
- a machine-readable passport valid for at least one month
- a confirmed return or onward ticket
- a prepaid booking at a registered resort, hotel or guesthouse, or enough money for the stay (the Maldives missions guide is US$100 plus US$50 a day)
- the IMUGA traveller declaration, filled in online within 96 hours before arrival for every traveller, children included
The declaration costs nothing, and employment is not allowed on a tourist visa. Make sure your passport has well over a month left: if it does not, check the passport fee in pakistan for a renewal.
