Travel Planning to Madagascar

Make sure you are well prepared for your trip to Madagascar! Here are the highlight points we prepared for you.

Flight & Arrival

You will enter Madagascar either through the capital's airport Ivato International Airport (TNR) or the Amborovy Airport (MJN) in Mahajanga. Both airports operate international flights. From the airport you will be picked-up by a program coordinator and continue your journey to the program site and your accommodation.

Visa

For a stay of up to 90 days, you will be issued the visa for Madagascar directly at the airport and you have to pay the fee directly in cash either in €, $ or in Malagasy Ariary. For all stays of more than 90 days, the Madagascar visa must be applied for at the Embassy in your home country. For further information on the visa requirements, please visit the embassy's website.

Transportation Through Madagascar

There are many different ways of how to get around in Madagascar. For long distances, taxis and airplanes are the dominant means of transport. For short distances within the city, minibusses, tuk-tuks, and rickshaws are a common means of transportation.
