Malagasy visa policy for American citizens

United States citizens need a visa to visit Madagascar, and the most common option for short tourist trips is the Madagascar eVisa, which can also be issued as a Visa on Arrival at eligible entry points. Applying online in advance is recommended to simplify arrival procedures and reduce waiting time at immigration.

Madagascar eVisa: A mandatory electronic visa that allows United States citizens to enter Madagascar for short-term tourism. It must be approved before travel (or obtained on arrival) and is usually issued for stays of 15, 30, or 60 days.

General Madagascar entry requirements for US travelers are:
A United States passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
