Frequently asked questions
The Constitution provides that a non-Muslim may not become a citizen. This is a constitutional provision rather than an administrative rule that can be waived, so for most readers it is a stopping point. Beyond it, naturalisation also requires long residence, Dhivehi ability and a discretionary decision.
No. A 2015 constitutional amendment permitted freehold with very large investment and reclamation conditions, but it was repealed in 2019. Only long-term leasehold remains. Anyone offered Maldivian property should ask precisely how many years of lease are on offer and what happens at expiry.
Prohibited on inhabited islands, served only at resorts. This is precisely why the one-island-one-resort model exists — life for resort staff and life on inhabited islands are quite different frameworks.
Staff usually live on the island where they work, on long contract cycles followed by long leave. The upside is that living costs are nearly eliminated; the weight is living and working on the same small island for months, with little private space and far from family. Ask carefully about leave cycles and accommodation before signing.
Facilities in Malé are the country's best, but specialist cases usually mean flying to India, Sri Lanka or Singapore. On outer islands provision is very limited — particularly important if working at a remote resort. International health insurance with medical evacuation is effectively mandatory.
Rarely, being near the equator. But the principal risk here is not storms — it is sea level and erosion. This is the world's lowest-lying country, with most land less than a metre above sea level.
The official language is Dhivehi, written in the right-to-left Thaana script used only here. But English is widely used in tourism, business, healthcare and higher education, so for hospitality work English is sufficient.
An artificial island created by land reclamation, raised higher above sea level as a climate adaptation measure, built to relieve overcrowding in Malé — among the world's most densely populated cities. Population is gradually being moved there.
