Entry Permission Details
The eVisa is a landing authorisation that allows you to collect your final visa stamp at the airport. It is only valid for tourism or non-paid business activities while you are in the country. This permit is for single entry. Once you leave Madagascar, it becomes invalid. Always leave within the approved period to avoid penalties.
Understanding the Costs
The price of your visa varies based on the stay length you select during the application. Service fees for processing are added to the government costs to cover the support and review of your file.
- A longer stay (30 or 60 days) costs more than a 15-day permit.
- Urgent or Super Fast processing costs more than standard.
- Fees can change, so check the current rate before applying.
- You pay by card when you submit — no cash needed.
- The price at checkout is the full cost, nothing extra.
Application Success Tips
Ensure all uploaded documents are clear and easy to read.
Apply at least 72 hours before your flight to avoid stress.
Use a clear, colour photo of your passport page.
Check that your passport expiry date is well into the future.
Timing and Urgent Requests
Standard processing usually takes a few days, but this is not a fixed guarantee. Travellers in a hurry can opt for "Super Fast" processing to receive their documents as quickly as possible. For more on costs and timing, see the fee and processing time page.
