Maldives visa for Indians: free, but file IMUGA first
Indians get 30 days free on arrival with no application. The catch is the mandatory Traveller Declaration, filed within 96 hours of your flight.

Fees & costs
MRV is $185, about ₹18,130 at the Mission's 25 May 2026 rate. What the bank and an agent add on top, and how the receipt outlives a cancelled booking.

Applying & documents
Since 25 Feb 2026 it's an eVisa tied to your UKVI account, not a sticker — the £20 ETA doesn't apply to Indians. Per-trip cost of the 10-year visa, in rupees.

Fees & costs
VFS or BLS adds its own service fee, uncompared across consulates, non-refundable on refusal — plus the 2024 cascade rule stretching one fee across 5 years.

E-visas & visa-free
Georgia's e-visa costs about $36 all-in: a $20 fee, 2% card charge, $15 identity check at evisa.gov.ge. A valid US, UK or Schengen visa skips it, free.

Where to go
Real ₹ costs at the 2 August 2026 dong rate, the e-visa port-of-entry rule on a Hanoi-in, Saigon-out route, and the flood dates to avoid in central Vietnam.

Where to go
Metro, dinner and the Burj Khalifa converted to ₹ at ₹26/AED (2 Aug 2026), plus which UAE visa most Indians need.

Appointments & status
Which portal to use depends on the emirate that issued your visa. ICP and GDRFA routing, required fields and what each status means.

Travel tips
ECR, offloading, RBI cash limits and the four kinds of 'visa-free' — risks a generic packing list skips, each dated and sourced.
