Apply for your Madagascar eVisa online

Yes, almost all foreign nationals require a visa to enter Madagascar.

While you can obtain one on arrival, the government highly recommends applying for the eVisa online beforehand to speed up entry and ensure you have all the correct documentation before flying.

The only exceptions - at the time of writing - are citizens from Burundi (must apply for an embassy visa) and Palestine (currently unable to get a visa for Madagascar).

You will receive a Landing Authorization (Landing Permit) via email as a PDF. You must print this document and bring it with you. Upon arrival at the airport in Madagascar, you will head to a dedicated eVisa lane to have the final visa sticker placed in your passport.

If you applied through iVisa, you can also find your Landing Authorization document in your dashboard.

The eVisa system acts as a pre-approval. The actual visa fee is paid directly to the Malagasy immigration authorities upon arrival. You can usually pay in Euros (EUR), US Dollars (USD), or Malagasy Ariary (MGA).

iVisa charges a fee to help travelers get their Landing Authorization before they get their visa, by doing an expert review to avoid errors, and making sure all government requirements are met, for your peace of mind.

Once your Landing Permit is sent, we will send you instructions on how to use it for your trip and how to pay the visa fee at the airport.

You can choose between multiple types of tourist eVisas:

• 15-day stay

• 30-day stay

• 60-day stay

• 90-day stay

The length of stay you apply for must match your travel plans.

While the government can take up to a few days, iVisa offers expedited processing to ensure you receive your Landing Authorization in as little as 1 business day.

No. The Madagascar eVisa is exclusively for tourism. For business meetings, investments, or work, you must apply for a specific "Business" or "Transformable" visa at a Madagascar Embassy or Consulate.

Yes, the Madagascar Tourist eVisa can be extended at the Immigration Office in Antananarivo, provided the total stay does not exceed 90 days.

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and minors, must have their own visa. Parents can manage the application for their children through iVisa by using the "Add another person" option.

If denied, you will usually need to submit a new application with corrected information. We also offer denial protection as an optional add-on to your application. In some cases, our experts can help you reapply.

The most common reasons are:

• Passport validity is less than 6 months from the date of arrival.
• The passport scan is blurry or cuts off the Machine Readable Zone (the lines at the bottom).
• Lack of a confirmed return flight.

By using iVisa, our team checks these details to ensure your application is perfect before submission.
