What should I bring when traveling to Maldives?

Traveling abroad, especially traveling abroad, requires passports, visas and identity cards. Maldives implements visa-free landing policy for most countries in the world (staying for 30 days), and China citizens with valid passports can apply for visa-free landing at Male International Airport for half a year.

Before departure, be sure to sign your name at the signature of the holder on the "Remarks" page (back cover) of your passport. Otherwise, the state border authorities have the right to refuse you exit or entry. If you go to Male with a foreign passport and return to China directly after the trip, please be sure to hold a multiple-entry visa or residence permit (residence permit) issued by China.

In order to prevent the documents from being lost and reissued in time, it is recommended that you prepare your passport, a copy of your ID card and two 2-inch photos before you leave. /kloc-tourists under the age of 0/6 who don't have an ID card need to bring their household registration book if they want to transfer in China. If you apply for honeymoon service, you need to provide the original valid marriage certificate within the specified date.

Step 2 equip

Clothes: Maldives can wear cool summer clothes all year round, including T-shirts, short sleeves, light trousers and a thin coat to prevent air-conditioned rooms from catching cold. Keep your manners and clothes decent. It is not suitable for tourists to wear bikinis or other thin beach clothes on the beaches of Maldives. This is against local customs.

In addition, visitors should wear dignified clothes when entering the church, and clothes must cover their hands and feet. Female tourists are not allowed to wear short-sleeved or sleeveless clothes, shorts and short skirts. Remember to take off your shoes before going back to church.

Sun protection: waterproof sunscreen with high sun protection index, polarized sunglasses, umbrella (sun protection+rain protection), wide-brimmed sun hat.

Shoes: Walking on the island, you need beach shoes that are not afraid of water and do not tie your feet; Sightseeing needs light sports shoes; It is best not to wear slippers, shorts, skirts, sleeveless tops, etc. When entering a formal occasion.

Snorkeling: When going to the seaside, please bring diving equipment such as masks, breathing tubes and flippers, swimsuits, swimming caps, goggles, swimming rings and shoes that can fetch water. According to your own needs. Most resorts in Madai can be rented (5- 10 USD/day) or borrowed for free. If the quality of snorkeling equipment is high or you want to save money, you can do it.

Others: swimsuit (bikini is suitable), goggles, swimming cap, waterproof cover for underwater camera/camcorder (disposable underwater camera is recommended), charger, mosquito repellent products, snacks, magazines or books, mobile phone, camera, camcorder, film/video (be sure to bring enough to avoid leaving regrets), quick translation ... and most importantly: passport, USD, credit card.

3. Personal daily necessities

The most popular resorts in Maldives do not provide toiletries such as toothbrushes and toothpaste, but provide soap, shampoo and shower gel. For the sake of environmental protection and hygiene, it is recommended that you prepare toiletries in advance. That is, razors, skin care products, cosmetics, sun hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, umbrellas, watches, pens, notebooks, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, slippers and so on. Please carry it according to your own needs.

4. Cash and bank cards

The Maldives does not circulate RMB, and the most widely circulated in China is the US dollar. It is recommended that you bring your ID card to the bank to exchange US dollars and apply for a dual-currency credit card (US dollars). For the exchange method, please call the customer service numbers of major banks.

According to China's current regulations, each China citizen can exchange up to 2000 US dollars in cash (or equivalent foreign currency) at a time, and up to 50,000 US dollars (or equivalent foreign currency) every year. Please exchange it as soon as possible. It is recommended that you have enough dollar change and credit card limit at home to meet the holiday expenses.

According to the regulations of China Customs, each person can carry up to RMB 20,000 or the equivalent of US$ 5,000 in foreign currency, and the excess shall be declared to the Customs in writing. Please try not to exceed the regulations, and the excess may face taxation, fines or confiscation, so the currency exchanged is enough. Carrying cameras, cameras, lenses and other valuables with a unit price of more than 5,000 yuan needs to be declared to the customs before checking the luggage.

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 for consumption in Maldives, and you only need to bring a small amount of dollar change as a tip.

5. Electronic equipment

The local standard voltage in Madai is 220V-240V, which is the same as that in China. Holiday hotels generally use English three-hole square sockets, which are generally available at the hotel front desk, but the number is limited. It is suggested that you buy British standard plug converters in domestic large supermarkets and online electronic malls in advance.

Please bring your own sealed bags or other waterproof packages for cameras, video cameras, batteries, chargers and memory cards to protect your electronic products and other valuables from being damaged when you participate in water activities.

6. medicine

The local medical conditions in Maldives are general, the resort hotels only have simple medical rooms, and the drug specifications are quite different from those in China. I suggest that you prepare some common medicines in advance, such as cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, painkiller, band-aid, wind oil, carsickness medicine, gastrointestinal medicine and so on. Patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and the elderly should also take enough spare drugs and carry them with them according to their physical conditions.
