Madagascarraises 15-day tourist e-visa fee to $35
Madagascar increased its 15-day tourist electronic visa fee from $10 to $35, effective February 16, 2026, according to the official e-visa portal. This represents a threefold increase and applies only to short-stay e-Visas. Longer-stay categories (16-30 days, 31-60 days, 90 days) retain existing prices. The change affects only online e-Visa applications for stays up to 15 days; embassy, consulate, and visa-on-arrival fees remain unchanged. Madagascar's tourism sector has been recovering, with international arrivals increasing through 2025. The fee adjustment should be weighed against this tourism growth trend, as tourism remains a key revenue source. Will this price increase deter short-term visitors despite Madagascar's recovering tourism sector?
