Get ready to bear this tax burden in Maldives..!?
Whatever the matter, unlike in the past, indians have come to a clarity on the Maldives. The country has become more popular due to the political leaders of that country who have been tongue-tied and have spoken in a self-serving manner. The maldives has recently made headlines once again with the increase in the exit fee charged by foreigners coming to their country. A decision has been made to drastically increase the fee charged from passengers flying to that country. When it comes to this new exit fee, which will come into effect from december 1st, the exit fee will be charged when going to the maldives and returning from there. This fee is collected from all non-Maldives. However, it is noteworthy that this fee is charged according to the class of travel. If this exit fee is currently 30 dollars for economy class passengers, it has been increased to 50 dollars from december 1. In our rupees, it is approximately Rs. 4200.
For business class passengers, it was 60 dollars. It has been increased to 120 dollars. Now, while it is 90 dollars for first-class passengers, it has been decided to increase it to 240 dollars. Now, if it is 120 dollars from foreign tourists coming to the country in private jets, it has been decided to increase it to 480 dollars. This fee will be collected from everyone who is not a citizen of their country, regardless of age, passport, etc.
Moreover, this fee has no relation to travel time or distance. If you are not a Maldivian citizen, you should say that you will pay the fee. The government of that country, which recently made an announcement regarding the increase in exit fees, stated that the income generated from the exit fee will be used to maintain the Velana international Airport in their country. However, they have to figure out a way to develop themselves by charging foreign guests coming to their country in the form of charges.
