In the Maldives, the procedure for filling out the mandatory IMUGA declaration for foreign tourists has been changed, the Association of Russian Tour Operators reported, citing the archipelago's immigration service.
Passengers are now required to confirm their email address using a one-time code (OTP) while filling the declaration. Without its introduction, the document cannot be completed. The declaration is mandatory for all tourists, including children. It must be issued within 96 hours prior to arrival in the Maldives.
After submitting the statement, the system generates a QR code that is recommended to be saved. Airline or border service representatives may request this.
