This is an information document on travel and the health of the tourist, filled in and submitted by the tourist on the basis of a questionnaire.

WHERE AND WHEN TO COMPLETE IT
The travel declaration must be completed within 96 hours of arrival in the Maldives. After completing the declaration, the tourist will be given a QR Code, which must be saved or printed. This must be presented to customs when crossing the border to obtain the Maldives Visa.

WHAT DATA IS CONTAINED IN THE DECLARATION
The declaration provides data on the tourist's state of health, the countries visited in the last 2 weeks, and the places visited in the Maldives.

WHAT PHOTO TO LOAD IN THE DECLARATION
A photograph of the tourist is required in the declaration.
It is necessary to take a full-face close-up photo.
It is preferable to take a photo against a light background.
Look directly into the camera.
Make sure there are no red eyes and that no shadows fall on your face.

Photos with a hidden part of the face are not allowed, so don't wear sunglasses or cover your face with bangs that cover your eyes.
Take photos against a uniform background so that other objects don't fall into the frame.
You can take a photo yourself on your phone. The important thing is that the photo meets all the requirements.

HOW TO GET THE QR CODE
A QR Code is automatically generated when a tourist fills in the form, uploads his/her photo and confirms the trip details. The QR Code appears in the browser window. The image is saved in "png" format.

If you receive an error message after filling in the declaration, try filling in the declaration again, remembering to "clear the browser cache" so that the browser does not retain previous errors.

Minors: authorization to leave the country

A minor child living in France who travels abroad alone or unaccompanied by a parent must be in possession of an authorization to leave the country (AST). This is a form drawn up and signed by a parent (or legal guardian). The form must be accompanied by a photocopy of the signing parent's identity document.

A child traveling with his or her mother or father therefore does not need an authorization to leave the country.
However, if the minor and the accompanying parent have different surnames, we advise you to bring the family record book or the authorization to leave the country signed by the parent with the same surname as the child.
