Visa for Madagascar: What You Need to Know Before You Go

Table of Contents

Introduction

All foreign nationals wishing to travel to Madagascar are required to obtain a visa, regardless of the duration of their stay. This visa is mandatory to enter Malagasy territory, whether for tourism, business, or family reasons. It is therefore essential to gather information in advance to prepare your application within the allotted time and avoid any delays upon arrival.

Travelers holding a Swiss passport or a passport from a European Union country must ensure that their travel document is valid for at least six months after the expected date of departure from Madagascar. This rule applies to both short tourist stays and longer stays requiring a specific visa. Passport validity is a mandatory condition for obtaining a visa upon arrival or through diplomatic channels.

The visa application can be made directly at the embassies or diplomatic representations of Madagascar located in your country of residence. It is recommended to make an appointment in advance, bring all required documents, and check the processing times, which may vary depending on the time of year and the type of visa requested. Some types of visas can also be obtained online or upon arrival at the airport, under certain conditions.
