Maldives is one of the attractive destinations for a relaxing summer vacation. A perfect getaway on gorgeous islands where you can soak up the sun and listen to the waves. This magical location is ideal for water sports enthusiasts, as you will be able to do all you desire to the fullest here. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the government has imposed strict regulations for conducting PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) tests for tourists.

Since September 2020, the Maldives' Health Protection Agency has made it mandatory for all tourists to submit a negative result (PCR test) for Covid-19 upon arrival. If a traveller stays in a tourist facility during their stay in the Maldives, they must take a PCR test 72 hours before their scheduled departure.

Cost of PCR for Tourists

The cost of a PCR test in the Maldives is dependent on result time, location, schedule availability etc. The standard PCR test with a result time of 24 hrs ranges between USD55 and USD60 per person. The result of a standard PCR test will be available in 12 to 24 hours

In comparison, the premium PCR test that delivers the report within 2 to 3 hours can cost USD160 or more. With the premium one, medical staff will reach you to collect samples and provide the report within 2 hrs. This process makes it convenient for travellers to queueless PCR testing facilities.

The cost of transporting the samples will be added to the PCR pricing in most Maldivian resorts; as a result, some resorts' PCR test fees range from USD150 to USD300 per person. However, to save money, schedule online and have the test done in the Male region or at the airport within 24 hours of receiving the results.

Besides, the distance between your resort and some unavoidable circumstances may cause a slight delay in delivering the report within due time.

Traveller Health Declaration Form

Passengers travelling to and from the Maldives must complete the Traveller Health Declaration form at least 24 hours prior to departure.

Simply, you can fill out the form and submit it electronically using IMUGA.
