One all-in price. The checkout total includes our service fee, expert review, and support — no surprises.
Madagascar eVisa — 15 dayseVisa
From$124.99
- Who it's for
- Visitors traveling to Madagascar for tourism. Madagascar treats citizens of almost every country as eligible to apply, with Palestinian nationals the one hard exception, since entry and transit are refused outright. Holders of a Malagasy passport or resident card need no visa.
- Permitted activities
- Tourism only. The eVisa system currently supports the tourist visa alone, so business, work, study and mission travel go through an embassy or the counter on arrival.
- Entry points
- Air only. There is no land or sea eVisa entry. Ivato in Antananarivo and Fascene on Nosy Be are the airports we name, and the other international airports at Antsiranana, Toamasina and Toliara also operate eVisa counters.
- Delivery format
- A PDF electronic travel authorization, which also serves as your landing permit. Print it or keep it on your phone for the police check when you arrive, along with a passport carrying two blank pages.
- Good to know
- This is a single-entry authorization and there is no multiple-entry option online. Madagascar accepts applications only inside a set window before departure, so applying very early is not possible. Extending a stay beyond what the eVisa allows has to be done in person at an immigration office inside the country.
- Validity
- Valid for 15 days
- Entry
- Single entry
- Length of stay
- Stay up to 15 days per entry

Madagascar visa FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about the Madagascar eVisa.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do I need a visa for Madagascar?
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 are citizens from Burundi (must apply for an embassy visa) and Palestine (currently unable to get a visa for Madagascar).
How will I receive the Madagascar eVisa?
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.
How do I pay for the Madagascar eVisa?
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.
How long can I stay in Madagascar with an eVisa?
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.
What is the processing time of the Madagascar eVisa?
Government processing can take up to a few days. With iVisa, you choose your processing speed at checkout, and the option you pick is shown with its delivery time before you pay.
Can I use the Madagascar eVisa for business trips?
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.
Can I extend my eVisa while I am in Madagascar?
Yes, the Madagascar Tourist eVisa can be extended at the Immigration Office in Antananarivo, provided the total stay does not exceed 90 days.
Do children/minors need a Madagascar eVisa?
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.
What happens if my Madagascar eVisa application is denied?
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.
What are the most common reasons a Madagascar eVisa application is denied?
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.
iVisa vs. the official Madagascar process
Why travelers choose iVisa
On your own
- The official application page redirects to a login screen, so you have to create an account before you can see the form at all.
- The government site is currently degraded. Its own price panel renders empty placeholders on both language versions, so a traveler who clicks to see the prices sees nothing.
- A contact form and an email address, with no chat, phone or WhatsApp channel.
- The official platform offers French and English only.
- Applying at the counter on arrival is possible, but it means queuing at immigration after a long flight, and Ivato queues on international arrivals can run long.
- Start with your nationality and destination, no account needed to see what is involved.
- A clear price shown before you start, and a checkout that is working today.
- Real human support by chat, email and phone.
- We handle this application in many more languages.
- Arrive with your authorization already issued and walk to the police check.
