Santisuk Klongchaiya, CEO of Thai AirAsia said, “With the government’s reopening policy in support of the economy and welcoming vaccinated foreign travelers has provided a positive boost for the tourism sector.  After thoroughly assessing the situation, AirAsia is proud to restart its international services with  the Maldives as its first destination.”

“The Maldives is a high potential destination and the nation is fully open to tourists with its businesses ready to welcome visitors.  Apart from enjoying quarantine-free visits, Thai travelers to the Maldives are also exempted from obtaining a visa,” Mr. Santisuk pointed out.

The Maldives has introduced various standards to allow foreign tourists to enter without the need for quarantine.  Travelers who have been fully vaccinated, as recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), no less than 14 days prior to travel and that have passed an RT-PCR COVID-19 test (at least 96 hours ahead of departure) will be allowed to fill out a Traveller Health Declaration (24 hours ahead of departure) at imuga.immigration.gov.mv/ethd

At the same time, visitors from the Maldives may enter Thailand without quarantine, as the nation is among the 63 recognized by the Kingdom’s government for its Test and Go programme. Travelers simply need to register for a Thailand Pass (at least 7 days prior to departure) and upload required documentation to tp.consular.go.th 

The Maldives is on the bucket list of many travellers across the globe and remains one of the world’s most popular travel destinations.  The country offers a wide range of activities and experiences, from coral diving and dolphin watching to water sports and tranquil luxury resorts.  December to February is the best period for holidaymakers to enjoy the sunny days and white sandy beaches.  With the promotional fares by AirAsia, guests can now travel to the Maldives and enjoy a much deserved holiday, with the much-needed peace of mind. .

AirAsia has spent the period of downtime in travel over the past one-and-a-half years to further improve and revamp its flight procedures and processes. In the highest interest of safety and wellbeing of all its guests and employees, AirAsia only assigns fully vaccinated employees to operate flights and be on-duty at airport terminals.
