What are the precautions for traveling to Maldives?

Precautions before traveling

1.

Because most of the tourism in Maldives belongs to the form of free travel, which is different from the general group tour, you must remember your travel time after you book your own hotel (check the hotel check-in time, ticket time, and whether the names provided to agents and travel agencies are wrong, and be sure to match the names on your passport). Don't forget this important event because of all kinds of busy things. Missing the flight time will not only ruin the whole trip. Never, never.

2.

Carrying documents: carry with you: passport (valid for more than 6 months), electronic declaration form and printed copy of hotel confirmation form (if there is honeymoon activity, please bring the original and copy of marriage certificate within the date required by the hotel). Toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, slippers, summer clothes, long-sleeved shirts, thin towels, beach swimming trunks, swimwear (if there is swimming during the trip), sunglasses, sun hat, sunscreen, umbrella, fan, camera, film, tea, essential drugs for personal use, etc. And a universal power switch. (In order to prevent the loss of the certificate, it can be reissued in time, and a copy of the certificate and two 2-inch photos can be prepared. /kloc-tourists under the age of 0/6 who do not have an ID card need to bring their household registration book if they want to transfer in China. )

3.

Dress suggestion: Maldives can wear cool summer clothes all year round, but bring a thin coat to prevent air-conditioned rooms from getting cold because the air conditioner is turned on too low. On formal occasions, it is best not to wear slippers, shorts, skirts, sleeveless tops and other inappropriate clothes. Please carry them carefully. At the seaside, please bring your own swimsuit, swimming cap, goggles, swimming ring, shoes that can fetch water, etc. According to your own needs. Shoes should be light and fit, suitable for walking, and don't wear new shoes and high heels (visitors should wear dignified clothes when entering the church, and their hands and feet must be covered. Female tourists are not allowed to wear short-sleeved and sleeveless clothes, shorts and short skirts, and remember to take off their shoes before going back to church. The hotel hopes that guests will not wear your beach suit and swimsuit when dining in the restaurant. In addition, don't sit on the hotel sofa or cushion with wet clothes or pants.

Some island hotels in Maldives do not provide disposable towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Please bring your own.

5. Cash bank card: RMB is not circulated in Maldives, and USD is the most widely circulated in China. I suggest you change RMB into US dollars before going abroad. For the exchange method, please call the customer service numbers of major banks. Please make sure to replace it as soon as possible. According to the customs regulations, each person can carry up to RMB 20,000 or the equivalent of US$ 5,000 in foreign currency, so the currency exchanged is enough. When shopping in Maldives, large stores can use MasterCard and Visa. I suggest you deposit your money in the card. The situation is different for different banks and cards. How to use a bank card in Maldives, please consult the issuing bank. (It is recommended to use an international credit card in Maldives, with a tip of $ 20-30, small denomination).
