Do I need a visa to travel to Madagascar?
Yes, a visa is mandatory for Madagascar, even for stays under 3 months. You can obtain it online via e-visa or directly at the airport upon arrival. The cost ranges from 35 to 50 euros depending on the duration, plus a 10 euro tourist tax.
How to Obtain Your Visa
You have two options for obtaining your tourist visa:
- Online before departure: on the official E-visa website (evisamada.gov.mg), secure payment, then collect the sticker at the airport
- On arrival at the airport: directly at the counter after presenting the required documents
Required Documents and Cost
To obtain your visa, you will need:
- Valid passport
- Return or onward electronic ticket
- Accommodation address in Madagascar
Total cost: between 45 and 60 euros (35-50€ for the visa + 10€ mandatory tourist tax since 2016).
Key Points to Remember
The tourist visa is valid for a maximum of 90 days and does not allow you to engage in paid work. It cannot be extended or converted into a long-stay visa. This procedure applies to all Malagasy airports receiving international flights.
