Maldives Immigration Goes Fully Digital with Launch of ‘Maldives 2.0’ Services

Maldives Immigration has officially launched its digital services under the ‘Maldives 2.0’ project, marking a significant step towards a fully digital public service framework and ending the need for in-person visits for passport and visa services.

The inauguration ceremony took place at Barceló Nasandhura Malé and was officiated by President Dr Mohamed Muizzu, who was welcomed by Minister of Homeland Security and Technology, Ali Ihusaan.

During the event, President Muizzu launched the new Maldives Immigration website, mobile application, and facial recognition system, officially introducing the e-Visa service to the public.

‘Maldives 2.0’, launched as a presidential initiative, seeks to transform the nation’s administrative and public service systems through digital innovation. The programme aims to establish faster, more secure, and transparent service delivery across all State institutions within the next three years.

With this milestone, Maldives Immigration becomes the first Government agency to achieve full digitalisation of its services. The shift is expected to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and provide citizens and foreign nationals with easier access to essential documentation.

At the ceremony, Minister Ihusaan and the Controller General of Immigration, Commissioner of Police (Retired) Ahmed Faseeh, presented a commemorative plaque to President Muizzu in recognition of his efforts to advance the ‘Maldives 2.0’ vision and promote digital transformation nationwide.
