NOTICE
The epidemic has lasted for more than two years, and the entry restriction policies introduced by various countries for epidemic prevention and control have seriously interrupted everyone's travel plans, especially international travel. I have previously introduced you to the visa application strategies for all Southeast Asia, East Asia, and some popular West Asian countries. This issue will introduce you to the visa application strategies for the popular tourist destination Maldives, including the preparation of entry and exit materials, and relevant air ticket and hotel recommendations in the future.
