Madagascar visa – complete guide for Swedish travelers 2026
Most travelers need a visa to travel to Madagascar. There are three ways to obtain one: e-visa online (recommended), visa on arrival at the airport, or through a visa service like DOX Visumpartner. We recommend applying in advance to avoid queues and uncertainty on arrival.
Since 2024, Madagascar offers a modern e-visa system via evisamada-mg.com. The e-visa is typically processed within 72 hours and sent digitally to your email. It is the most convenient option, especially for Swedish travelers who want everything arranged before departure.
Visa on arrival is still available at Ivato International Airport (Antananarivo), Fascene Airport (Nosy Be) and other international entry points. Prices vary: approx. 10 EUR (15 days), 35 EUR (30 days) and 40 EUR (60 days). Cash payment in EUR or USD is recommended.
Madagascar is one of the most unique destinations in the world. The island broke away from Africa 160 million years ago and has developed entirely unique flora and fauna – 90% of all species are endemic. Here you find over 100 species of lemurs, 6 of the world's 8 baobab species, and coral reefs among the richest in the Indian Ocean.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your planned departure date and have at least 2 blank pages. If traveling via a yellow fever endemic country (e.g. Kenya or Ethiopia), a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required. Malaria prophylaxis is strongly recommended – contact your health center at least 4 weeks before departure.
Madagascar has two seasons: dry season (April–October) is best for travel, with pleasant temperatures and little rain. The rainy season (November–March) can make roads impassable, especially to Tsingy de Bemaraha. Whale watching at Île Sainte-Marie is best July–September.
