WELCOME TO THE MALDIVES
Arriving in the Maldives is unlike landing anywhere else in the world. As your plane descends, you’ll already see turquoise lagoons and tiny islands scattered across the ocean.
All international arrivals land at Velana International Airport, located just minutes away from Malé.
From here, your island journey begins—and with the right planning, it can be completely seamless.
At Conch Holidays, we ensure your experience is smooth from the moment you arrive.
Step 1 - Immigration & Arrival Process
After landing, you will proceed through immigration. The process is generally efficient, especially if your documents are ready.
Maldives Tourist Visa on Arrival
The Maldives offers a free tourist visa on arrival for all nationalities, making entry simple and hassle-free.
To receive your visa, you will need:
- A valid passport (with at least 6 months validity)
- A completed traveller declaration (submitted online before arrival)
- A confirmed accommodation booking
- A return or onward flight ticket
- Sufficient funds for your stay (or a confirmed holiday package)
The standard tourist visa is valid for up to 30 days and can be extended if required.
Documents You Should Have Ready
- Passport
- Traveller declaration (digital or printed confirmation)
- Hotel or resort booking confirmation
- Flight details
Once cleared, you can collect your luggage and proceed to the arrivals area.
How Conch Holidays Helps
We guide our guests before arrival with clear instructions on visa requirements, documentation, and entry procedures—ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience from the moment you land.
For guests booking with us, your accommodation and transfers are already confirmed, helping you meet all visa requirements with ease.
Step 2 -
Meet & Greet
The arrivals hall can feel busy, especially during peak travel times. This is where a meet & greet service makes a big difference.
With Conch Holidays:
- You are welcomed upon arrival
- Guided directly to your transfer counter
- Assisted with any questions or changes
This eliminates uncertainty and allows you to relax immediately after your flight.
Step 3 -
Your Transfers
The Maldives is unique—your resort or local island is rarely at the airport itself. Transfers are an essential part of your journey.
Speedboat Transfers
Best for nearby islands and resorts. Fast, convenient, and available throughout the day.
Seaplane Transfers
A scenic highlight of any Maldives trip. Ideal for resorts further away, operating only during daylight hours.
Domestic Flights
Used for distant atolls, followed by a short speedboat ride.
How Conch Holidays Simplifies This
Transfers can be confusing when booked separately. At Conch Holidays, we:
- Arrange all transfers in advance
- Coordinate timings with your flight
- Provide clear instructions before arrival
Step 4 -
Waiting Time & Airport Experience
Depending on your transfer type, you may have some waiting time after arrival.
At the airport, you’ll find:
- Cafés and restaurants
- Duty-free shopping
- Resort and seaplane lounges
- Currency exchange and SIM card counters
If you’re travelling to a resort via seaplane, you’ll typically be escorted to a private lounge.
How Conch Holidays Adds Value
We keep you informed about waiting times and ensure you know exactly where to go, avoiding unnecessary stress.
Step 5 -
Arrival at Your Island
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for.
As you arrive at your island, you’ll be welcomed with:
- White sandy beaches
- Crystal-clear waters
- Warm Maldivian hospitality
Whether it’s a resort or a local island, your holiday truly begins here.
Enhance Your Stay with Experiences
To make the most of your trip, consider adding activities during your stay.
Popular options include:
- Snorkelling trips
- Sandbank picnics
- Dolphin watching
- Island hopping
Make the Most of Your Arrival Day
If you arrive early, you don’t have to wait until the next day to start exploring. A short experience can turn your arrival day into part of your holiday. For example, a guided tour of Malé offers insight into local culture and daily life.
TRAVEL TIPS
A smooth arrival sets the tone for your entire Maldives holiday. With a little preparation, you can avoid common delays and start your experience feeling relaxed and ready to enjoy the islands.
Here are a few simple tips to help you make the most of your arrival:
- Arrive early if you have a seaplane transfer
- Keep essentials in your hand luggage
- Stay connected with a local SIM card
- Follow transfer instructions carefully
Pro Tip from Conch Holidays
Booking everything in one place—accommodation, transfers, and experiences—ensures a smooth and well-coordinated arrival.
START YOUR MALDIVES JOURNEY WITH CONFIDENCE
Your Maldives experience should begin the moment you land—not with uncertainty, but with ease and excitement.
With Conch Holidays, every detail is taken care of:
- Airport assistance
- Seamless transfers
