Official travel advisory

2 Exercise Increased Caution

The U.S. State Department places Maldives at Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution citing terrorism. Our live index reads 85.3/100. That advisory was last revised Oct 7, 2025, 329 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.

Terrorism is the principal safety concern in the Maldives, where militant groups have the capacity to strike suddenly and without prior indication. Sites frequented by visitors, transit points such as airports and ferry terminals, markets, shopping centers, and municipal offices are among the potential targets. Because much of the country consists of scattered outlying islands, emergency services may take longer to reach an incident occurring there. Demonstrations and large gatherings carry added risk, and conditions can shift quickly enough to disrupt planned itineraries.
