Can I work in the Maldives?

How it works: Employer quota and work permit, paid by the employer; some roles are being reserved for Maldivians (2027 to 2030).

Watch for: Cashier jobs are reserved for Maldivians from February 2027; guest relations, tour guides, dive instructors, housekeeping, HR and front office managers follow by about 2030.

Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
