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 FAQ says the date of arrival in Malagasy territory is the starting date of the visa. It also says that if the requested length of stay is less than the actual stay, the traveller should extend the visa in the Immigration office, and that travellers wishing to stay more than 60 days can extend the visa up to 90 days in the Immigration office.
