Diego Suarez Bay and Northern Coast

Choose Antsiranana as an easy town base for Port Jasmine; Ramena sits about 19 km away and the local tourism office gives roughly 30 minutes in ordinary conditions. Prebook taxis or a vehicle and driver for coastal tracks, since availability and road surfaces vary. For protected inland visits, local guides and suitable vehicles may be required. The Ampasindava route towards Nosy Hara has seasonal road limitations. Avoid night intercity road transfers where travel advisories warn of security and road risks. Budget extra time for any flight onward.

Check current requirements for your own nationality and itinerary before paying. Madagascar’s Tourism Ministry links to the eVisa information portal, which describes single-entry tourist eVisas for stays of up to 60 days and visa counters on arrival. Longer stays require separate immigration arrangements. The published eVisa fee table lists EUR 30 for 1-15 days, EUR 35 for 16-30 and EUR 40 for 31-60. For travelers departing from the UK on a full British citizen passport, the UK FCDO describes visa-free visits of up to 15 days with a EUR 10 administration fee on arrival. France Diplomatie reports a EUR 10 border administration fee for stays of less than 15 days. The fee guidance differs by source and application channel. Confirm which rules and fees apply to you with Malagasy immigration or the embassy before submitting personal details or paying. UK and French advice calls for a passport valid at least 6 months after arrival; the UK also specifies two blank pages. Return/onward documentation and vaccination certificates may be required by route; CDC gives origin-dependent yellow-fever rules. The UK FCDO also documents additional health-screening requirements in October 2026. Do not rely on the 90-day online fee row as proof the eVisa system issues 90-day visas. UK government entry advice lists different Ebola measures depending on where you travelled or transited in the past 21 days. For Kenya or Nigeria, it says you must sign a health undertaking and will receive regular telephone monitoring after arrival. For the Democratic Republic of the Congo, you must declare your recent travel and may face screening or be denied entry. Travellers who qualify for a listed exemption must spend 21 days in quarantine at an approved location, with health monitoring and at their own expense. Confirm the latest requirements for your itinerary with Malagasy authorities and your airline before departure. Cholera-origin screening and vaccination-document requirements can also depend on route. Confirm current Malagasy rules before travel.
