So, if you are planning a visit to the Maldives, this is a feasible option for you. However, there are some rules that you’ll have to follow, which include, carrying a negative RT-PCR test report conducted within 72 hours of the departure, along with documents to prove a confirmed stay booking, in order to get entry clearance. However, if you want you can also change resorts during their stay.
Furthermore, coming December, Maldives has also planned to start offering reward loyalty points to repeat visitors, thereby becoming the first country in the world to do so. Now that’s some futuristic move to promote tourism!
