Maldives Government announces a new Airport Tax from 2014 July 1st.
![Maldives International Airport - New 25 USD Tax to Take off !](https://www.dreamingofmaldives.com/maldives-blog/wp-content/uploads/maldives-airport-tax-2014-80x54.jpg)
Each passenger will have to pay an Airport Tax of 25 USD per person at departure from Male International Airport.
The payment has to be done in Cash ( USD, Maldivian Ruffyas or any currency accepted by the Airport Authorities ).
This new Law was voted this last May, 05th.
Until today, a 12 USD tax was already included in Airline Tickets.
NOTE : Passengers with previously purchased tickets will have to pay a difference of 13 USD at the Airport before living.
Apart from Diplomats and Government Officials, are exempted from this Tax :
– Infant under 2 years old.
– Passengers staying in Transit for maximum 24 hours.
Any new issued ticket should now have this new 25 USD tax included.
My advice :
– Please check with your travel agent and / or your Airline Company before booking in order to be fully informed before you go,
and…
– Keep some Cash ! ( Make the maths for a family of 4…)
