A Maldivian Passport can be issued to any Maldivian citizen who applies for a passport. If the applicant is under the age of 18, a passport can be issued by the requirements of either a parent, or by a legal guardian. 

Maldivian citizens residing in Switzerland must apply for their first Maldivian passports through the Maldives Department of Immigration. 

Application for Dhivehi Passport must be submitted via Imuga, the online platform for immigration services. 

If you wish to collect the passport in Switzerland, please indicate on the application form that you would like to pick up your passport at the Permanent Mission of the Maldives in Geneva.
