Passengers travelling to Maldives will have restrictions on the importation of alcohol, tobacco, vapes and accessories into the Maldives.
Passengers travelling to Maldives will not be allowed to bring in any alcohol. Any imported alcohol will be detained on arrival until your return flight.
From 09 November 2024, passengers are restricted on the quantities and types of tobacco products imported. Tobacco products eligible for duty exemption are as follows:
Up to 200 cigarettes, or 25 cigars, or 250 grams of tobacco only. Quantities exceeding these limits will be retained by Customs for a maximum of 30 days.
From 15th November 2024, the importation of Vapes, E-Cigarettes and related devices are strictly forbidden.
From 15th December 2024, the ban will extend to the possession, use, manufacturing, sale, promotion and free distribution of vaporizer devices. This applies to both residents and visitors across the country.
Passengers can collect any confiscated alcohol and tobacco products at the departure terminal of Velana International Airport (VIA) customs counter prior to their departure from Maldives.
The process of disinsection is required by WHO (World Health Organisation) and local health authorities to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, e.g. Malaria.
On our Maldives route, we spray the inside of the aircraft with insecticides, which is recommended under the WHO based on their safety and effectiveness.
The spray we use onboard is Phenothrin (1R-trans phenothrin), which dissipates within a few minutes after being sprayed in the cabin.
Our cabin crew will make an onboard announcement when the spraying of insecticides is about to take place. We encourage customers to use this opportunity to cover their nose, eyes and mouth if they wish to do so.
