Immigration says ordinary passports remain fully valid for international travel amid temporary e-passport shortage
Maldives Immigration will temporarily issue non-electronic passports due to delays in e-passport booklet stock. The temporary passports are machine-readable and comply with ICAO standards, allowing international travel. E-passport features are primarily used in Singapore and Dubai, so the impact is limited. Non-electronic passports will be valid for five years.
