Questions?
Is there a yellow fever vaccine requirement?
Kathryn F, USA | July 3, 2024
My friend and I are planning a trip to Kenya first and then Madagascar. Our journey starts in Nairobi before we head to Antananarivo. We’re trying to figure out the health requirements for this route. Will we need a yellow fever vaccine certificate to apply for the Madagascar eVisa after visiting Kenya?
Cami, iVisa | July 6, 2024
While it’s not a listed requirement when applying for a Madagascar eVisa, if you're traveling to Madagascar from Kenya, it’s best to get a yellow fever vaccine certificate. This is because Kenya is one of the countries where yellow fever is endemic. It's helpful to have this certificate as part of your travel documentation to ensure entry into Madagascar without issues from immigration.
Can the eVisa be used to enter Madagascar more than once?
Gabrielle M, France | July 9, 2024
My partner and I are from Marseilles and planning a cruise that will dock in Madagascar on two separate days. We're really excited to explore locally with guides from the area rather than the cruise ship’s organized tours. We'll be landing in different ports each day. I’m wondering about the visa requirements—do we need to get an eVisa for each port entry in Madagascar, or is one enough for both days?
Cami, iVisa | July 11, 2024
Since the Madagascar eVisa is a single-entry visa, each time you disembark in Madagascar, a new entry would be required. Therefore, for your cruise that stops in Madagascar on two different days at different ports, you would indeed need a separate eVisa for each port entry if you plan to leave the ship and enter Madagascar. Fortunately, we have a Super Rush processing option for the Madagascar eVisa where you can get the document in 2 days.
How long can I stay in Madagascar with an eVisa?
Dante L, Italy | July 19, 2024
I’m finally traveling to Madagascar after postponing my trip because of the global pandemic. I know the tourist eVisa allows for a 60-day stay with an option to extend for another 90 days. Here’s my question: could I just leave Madagascar before my visa expires and then return with a new visa (and a new validity period)? Are there any rules about how much time I can spend in Madagascar over a year or within a 365-day period?
Martin, iVisa | July 22, 2024
If you leave the country before your initial visa expires, you can indeed return with a new visa and a new validity period. However, there isn't a specific rule regarding the total time you can spend in Madagascar within a 365-day period under standard tourist visas. Each entry is treated independently as per the duration allowed on the eVisa.
