Working in Maldives

The Maldives offers employment opportunities mainly in luxury resorts, hotels, tourism, marine activities, food and beverage, engineering, housekeeping, finance and human resources. Resort jobs commonly include staff accommodation, meals, transportation and service charge, although benefits vary by employer. Life on a resort island is peaceful and community-focused, with a strong Islamic culture, warm hospitality and respect for local customs. Employees should expect humid weather, limited shopping and entertainment, and separation from major towns or family. Foreign workers generally need an employer-sponsored Employment Approval and work permit; the company normally manages the process before or after arrival. A valid passport, medical checks and required documents are usually needed. Relocating employees should confirm contract terms, flights, medical coverage, internet access, leave, accommodation standards and visa responsibilities before accepting an offer.
