Usual for the Maldives, varies by employer. Checked October 2026.
Senior staff often get more than line staff, for example a single room or a yearly home flight. Ask the employer what the job includes before you accept.
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.
