Entry details
Holders of a Benin passport get a visa on arrival — no embassy visit needed when visiting Maldives. The Benin passport currently ranks #144 of 199 worldwide, with 60 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
Maldives is notably open to foreign passports, admitting 198 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #104 with 86 open destinations. The relationship isn't symmetric: Benin travellers get easier access here than Maldives citizens get in return (e-visa required).
In the opposite direction, Maldives citizens travelling to Benin face: e-visa required.
