Maldives offers job opportunities mainly in luxury resorts, hotels, restaurants, diving, watersports, spa services, engineering, housekeeping, finance and guest relations. Resort islands provide a highly international workplace, while local islands follow Islamic customs and have a more community-focused lifestyle. Alcohol and pork are generally restricted outside resorts, and modest dress is expected on inhabited islands. Life on a resort island is peaceful but relatively isolated, with limited shopping and entertainment; staff accommodation, meals and recreational facilities are usually provided. Foreign employees normally require a work permit and employment approval arranged by the employer before or shortly after arrival, followed by a residence permit process. Confirm medical checks, contract terms, flights, insurance, leave, service charge and any deductions in writing. Malé is the main transport and administrative hub, while remote resorts may require a domestic flight or seaplane transfer.
