Madagascar Visa Information

Travel to Madagascar: Visa Information, Entry Requirements, and Visitor Guide

Madagascar, the world’s fourth-largest island, is known for its extraordinary biodiversity, unique wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes. Travelers planning a trip will be pleased to know that Madagascar offers visa on arrival and e-visa options for many nationalities, making entry relatively straightforward. Visitors typically need a valid passport, proof of onward travel, and payment for the visa fee, depending on the length of stay. Applying online in advance is often recommended to speed up the arrival process.

Once your entry documents are ready, exploring Madagascar becomes an unforgettable adventure. The country is home to iconic species such as lemurs, baobab trees, and rare birdlife found nowhere else on Earth. Popular destinations include the Avenue of the Baobabs, the rainforests of Andasibe-Mantadia, and the pristine beaches of Nosy Be. Internal travel can take time due to the island’s size and road conditions, so planning transportation and accommodations ahead is essential.

You need a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of entry and with sufficient blank pages for stamping. If you are arriving from — or transiting through — a region with Yellow Fever risk, you must hold a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate.
