Overview
About the Madagascar visa for Indians
Indian passport holders need a visa for Madagascar, but it is one of the easier African visas to obtain. Tourists can typically apply online through the official e-Visa portal before travelling, or obtain a tourist visa on arrival at the main international airport, subject to the latest rules. Tourist visas are usually offered for stays of up to 30, 60 or 90 days. You will need a passport with enough validity, a confirmed return ticket and details of where you are staying, and you may be asked for proof of funds.
Audvik helps you choose the most convenient option and keeps your paperwork in order. We check your passport and return flight, complete the online application where you prefer to apply in advance, and give you a clear checklist for arrival if you choose the on-arrival route. We can also plan the full trip, including flights, hotels in Antananarivo and Nosy Be, the Avenue of the Baobabs, national park visits and travel insurance.

Madagascar visa FAQs
Do Indians need a visa for Madagascar?
Yes, Indians need a visa for Madagascar, but it is straightforward to obtain. You can typically apply online before travel or get a tourist visa on arrival at the main international airport, subject to the latest rules. A valid passport, return ticket and accommodation details are essential.
Is visa on arrival available for Indians in Madagascar?
Tourist visa on arrival has generally been available to Indian passport holders at Madagascar's main international airport. Rules can change, and queues can be long, so many travellers prefer the online e-Visa. Either way, carry your return ticket, hotel booking and proof of funds.
How long can I stay in Madagascar on a tourist visa?
Tourist visas are usually issued for stays of up to 30, 60 or 90 days, depending on the option you choose. Pick the duration that covers your full itinerary. Extensions inside the country are possible in some cases but are never guaranteed.
Is travel insurance mandatory for Madagascar?
Insurance may not be checked at entry, but it is highly recommended. Many parks and beaches are far from good hospitals, and medical evacuation can be expensive. A policy covering medical treatment, evacuation and trip interruption is a sensible part of your planning.
Can Audvik plan my whole Madagascar holiday?
Yes. Audvik can arrange your Madagascar visa along with flights, hotels, internal transfers, national park visits, a trip along the Avenue of the Baobabs and beach stays in Nosy Be. We also add travel insurance so your entire holiday is organised in one place.
