See the full document requirements page for complete specifications.

Permit Validity

A typical travel permit allows you to stay for the number of days you selected during the application. These documents are generally meant for one-time use. If you leave the country, you cannot re-enter using the same document.

  • Confirm every detail matches your passport.
  • Note both the start and end dates of validity.
  • You will present this document at the immigration counter.

Completing the Digital Form

Travel Essentials

The form is designed to be simple for non-native speakers. You will enter your name, birth date, and passport numbers exactly as they appear on your documents. Double-check all numbers before you hit submit.

Keeping Track of Your Application

Monitoring your request is easy. Use your reference number on the eligibility and tracking tool to check your status at any time.

  • If your application is approved, you will see a confirmation and get your eVisa by email.
  • If more documents are needed, you will get a message with instructions.
  • If your application is still in process, check back later for updates.

If you lose your reference number, check your email confirmation or contact support for help.

Reasons for Unsuccessful Requests

Requests are often held up if the uploaded photo is too dark or if the passport scan is missing the bottom edge. Ensuring all information matches your official documents is the best way to avoid a rejection.

Handling Expiring Documents

If you need to stay in Madagascar longer than your permit allows, you must seek an extension from the local authorities. Failing to do so can result in legal trouble. It is always best to plan your exit within the allowed timeframe.

  • Extensions are processed in person only.
  • Apply at least three days before the permit end date.
  • Bring passport, current visa, and proof of accommodation.
  • Overstaying leads to fines and potential travel restrictions.
