Hong Kong passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Maldives for stays of up to 30 days. There is nothing to apply for in advance — the visa is issued at the airport or land border after you pay the fee. Bring cash in a major currency, a passport valid for at least six months, a return ticket and the address of your first night's accommodation, and expect a queue at busy airports.
The main option is the Tourist Visa on Arrival, which costs Free.
Whatever your visa status, Maldives applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
