Overview

Madagascar publishes tourist eVisa guidance through the official eVisa platform, long-stay investor, worker, family and work-permit checklists through EDBM, and consular visa category guidance through official Ministry of Foreign Affairs mission pages. Mission pages can be locally specific, so applicants outside the listed consular district should confirm filing mechanics with the competent Madagascar embassy or consulate before payment or mailing documents. The official eVisa platform says it is the only official online visa application site for Madagascar and that the eVisa system currently supports tourist visas only. It states that all nationalities are eligible, the tourist eVisa is single entry with a maximum duration of 60 days, the traveller can apply between one week and six months before departure, and an electronic travel authorisation is issued no later than 72 hours after online registration is validated.

Application pathway

  1. Check the route fit

    Confirm the trip is tourism and fits the tourist eVisa framework.

  2. Build the evidence pack

    Create an account on the official eVisa platform and enter the travel dates and stay duration.

  3. Submit through the official channel

    Validate the application and pay only through the official channel shown by the platform.

  4. After approval

    Carry the electronic travel authorisation for police control on arrival in Madagascar.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For Tourist eVisa, use the actual decision and the issuing authority’s instructions to establish what has been granted. A successful application, permission to enter, permission to work and a residence document are not interchangeable.

  1. 1. Check the decision. Confirm the name, passport, status granted, start date and any next action. Resolve an error with the authority before relying on the document for travel or employment.
  2. 2. Establish the travel step. Read any entry window, activation, collection or in-country registration instruction. For an extension or change of status, do not assume leaving the country is required or safe while a further step remains pending.
  3. 3. Confirm what you may do. Check whether employment, self-employment, remote work or study is permitted under the status granted. Do not infer unrestricted work rights from the absence of an employer sponsor.
  4. 4. Organise the household. Check each accompanying person’s permission separately, then arrange healthcare, accommodation, access to money and the relevant local registrations. A tax number or bank account does not by itself prove a right to work.
  5. 5. Keep the ongoing conditions visible. Record the actual expiry, renewal process, permitted absences and any duty to report changes. An initial grant does not automatically establish permanent residence or citizenship.
