Israel to Madagascar visa requirements

Q: What is the easiest way to get the visa?

Apply online at the official portal evisamada-mg.com before you fly. It is processed within 72 hours and is faster and more reliable than the visa-on-arrival queue.

Q: How much does the visa cost?

As of 16 February 2026, EUR 30 / USD 35 for 1-15 days. Longer stays cost EUR 35 (16-30 days), EUR 40 (31-60 days) or EUR 50 (61-90 days). The eVisa and visa on arrival cost the same.

Q: Is visa on arrival still available?

Yes. All nationalities can get a visa on arrival at Ivato (Antananarivo) Airport and main entry points, but it is slower and less predictable than the online eVisa.

Q: Do I need anything else to enter?

A passport valid 6+ months with two blank pages, a return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and a yellow fever certificate if you are arriving from a country where yellow fever is endemic.

Israeli passport holders need a visa for Madagascar, but it is easy to get: apply online for a tourist eVisa before you travel, or get a visa on arrival at the airport. There is no full visa-free entry — even short stays now require a paid visa. Madagascar is not visa-free for Israeli (or almost any) passport holders. However, the country runs a simple electronic visa system open to all nationalities, and a visa on arrival is also available at Antananarivo (Ivato) International Airport and other entry points. The tourist eVisa is single-entry and covers stays of up to 90 days, issued purely for tourism. The recommended route is the official eVisa portal evisamada-mg.com: you complete an online form, pay the fee, and the e-authorization is issued within 72 hours. As of 16 February 2026, Madagascar raised the fee for the shortest 1-15 day category (now EUR 30 / USD 35); longer-stay categories are unchanged at EUR 35-50. The eVisa and visa-on-arrival cost the same, but applying online in advance is faster and more reliable than queuing at the airport. Passport must be valid at least 6 months with two blank pages. Madagascar is in Africa, not the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
