Madagascar visas. In order to promote tourism in Madagascar, the government set up certain measurements to facilitate the formalities. However, the visitor’s visas for any foreigner wishing to come to Madagascar is obligatory. The period can go 30 days up to 5 years and more. The tourists in Madagascar can do the necessary formalities directly near their consulate or embassy and they also can obtain a visa for Madagascar at the airport of Ivato. We recommend the first solution, because the rates of the visas for Madagascar frequently change. A visa near the embassy will enable you to cope for all eventualities. Starting from May 2009, the Malagasy government decided to promote tourism in Madagascar with a free visa for the stays which do not exceed 30 days. However, this information is to be taken with precaution, because the agents of the airport can require a residence permit. It is better to be informed near its consulate. In addition, the 30 days period does not necessarily mean 1 month and the airport agents can estimate that your stay exceeded the 30 days and thus, they will require the payment of the visa for Madagascar on 3 months duration or worse, they can initiate a procedure of expulsion. In fact, the free access of the visa for Madagascar for one month is a false solution, in particular for the tourists who will practise the green tourism or as a recluse. We can take the example of this tourist who had profited from this free visa, he went to the south of Fort-Dauphin (a very isolated zone) and he found himself because of a cut of road and its stay expired and he found himself in a real mess. Obviously, if you use organized trips then where the date of return is well envisaged, the free visa can prove to be a good solution.

Madagascar visas. If you are student registered in a Malagasy school or a missionary of any confession, you will be able to profit from the half-fare. Attention, these rates are valid for a visa of stay for Madagascar and not for the resident’s card (in this last case, inform yourself at the minister of the Interior of Madagascar). Tourism in Madagascar also proposes what is called the convertible visa which is especially intended for the investors or the people who come to Madagascar for the first time, but which are not certain if they will prolong this stay. The rate for the convertible visa for Madagascar is of 105 euros and we must carry out it in the month of the entry in the Malagasy territory.
