FCDO updates Madagascar entry rules for British travellers
Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has published updated travel advice for Madagascar. The guidance details passport validity requirements and visa fees for visitors. It applies to holders of a full British citizen passport travelling from the UK.
Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has updated its travel advice for Madagascar. The new guidance covers entry requirements and health screening for visitors arriving from the UK. The department published the changes to clarify current rules for British nationals.
Passports must be valid for at least 6 months after the arrival date and contain 2 blank pages. Visitors may stay for up to 15 days without a visa, provided they pay a 10-euro fee on arrival. For longer stays, tourists can purchase 30- or 60-day visas at the airport using US dollars, euros, or Malagasy ariary. These visas can be extended to a maximum total stay of 90 days.
The guidance warns that overstaying may result in detention or deportation. The information is specific to people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK. The announcement does not state whether these fees or validity periods will change in the future.
