Maldives Immigration has implemented a mandatory One-Time Password (OTP) verification step for foreign passengers submitting the online IMUGA Traveller Declaration Form, effective Monday, 9 November 2026.

Under the updated entry protocols, all foreign travellers arriving in the Maldives must continue to submit the digital Traveller Declaration Form within 96 hours prior to their arrival.

Beginning today, applicants will receive an OTP sent directly to the email address provided during the form-filling process. Travellers must enter this verification code to validate their email and successfully complete their submission.

Maldives Immigration advised incoming visitors to ensure they input a correct, accessible email address when accessing the IMUGA portal. For infants and dependent minors, parents or legal guardians are permitted to use their own email addresses to complete and verify the submission on their behalf.
