Overview

  • The Maldives has officially barred Israeli passport holders from entering the country, with the policy taking immediate effect on April 15, 2025.
  • The legislation, ratified by the Maldivian parliament and signed into law by President Mohamed Muizzu, reflects the government’s condemnation of Israel’s actions in Gaza.
  • Dual nationals with non-Israeli passports are exempt from the ban, as outlined in the amended Immigration Act.
  • Israel’s Foreign Ministry has advised its citizens to avoid travel to the Maldives, citing limited consular support and ongoing diplomatic tensions.
  • This measure marks one of the most significant international actions targeting Israelis since the October 7, 2023, escalation of the Gaza conflict.
