Now all the restrictions regarding covid-19 have been lifted and hence all the procedures are normal/usual. PCR or covid Vaccination card is not required for the clearance. The Ministry of Tourism is issuing Cruising permits for all foreign going vessels to cruise through all the atolls of Maldives.
All clearance is done through online portals which only agents have access to, so use of an agent is essential.
Everyone is required to complete the Traveller Declaration form within 72 hours of departure from their last port: Subheading
Yachts usually clear in and out through Male, but Uligamu and Gan are also ports of entry.
