Malé Congestion Spurs Tougher Import Laws: Ministry Enforces Garage Permits and Vehicle Age Caps
The Maldives Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation introduced immediate amendments to motor vehicle import regulations, requiring verified garage permits for importers of land vehicles other than two-wheelers and setting maximum vehicle age limits by type and carrying capacity. A 90-day transitional period has been announced, during which the Ministry will inspect the authenticity of garage permits and available storage space.
