Moreover, children who accompany guests who are under the approved vaccination age will be able to check-in to local guesthouses without any further prerequisites.
Tourists who are flying in for local guesthouses must have in their possession a negative PCR test that does not exceed 72 hours prior to their arrival in Maldives. They must also provide a negative PCR test while checking out from their lodgings before departure.
Furthermore, guests without two successful Covid-19 vaccine doses, will be able to check-in to guesthouses of local islands where 60% of the local population have received two full doses of the vaccine.
Additionally, tourists checking-in to properties without two full doses must ensure booking guesthouses where 95% of the staff providing services, have received two full doses.
