Maldives removes declaration form for outbound travellers
Maldives Immigration has announced that, effective August 15, 2024, outbound travellers will no longer be required to fill out the Imuga Traveller Declaration form when departing from the Maldives. This change has been implemented under the directive of the Controller General of Immigration.
The move aims to enhance the overall travel experience by reducing procedural requirements for passengers leaving the country. The decision is expected to streamline the departure process at airports, allowing for a more efficient flow of travellers.
The department had earlier removed the Imuga Traveller Declaration for outbound and inbound Maldivians, but tourists still had to fill out the online form before coming to the Maldives and before their departure from the country.
For the hospitality industry, this adjustment to remove the Imuga Traveller Declaration on departure from the Maldives may contribute to a smoother experience for international guests departing the Maldives, potentially reflecting positively on guest satisfaction and operational efficiency within resorts and hotels.
Hotels and resorts are encouraged to communicate this change to their guests and staff to facilitate a smooth adjustment to the new process.
