Hi,

I have just received a job offer in male.

I am wondering if it will be ok for my partner to stay with me on a tourist visa for the first month and possibly move to the maldives with me later in the year. Will this be looked upon negatively as we are not married and the Maldives is a muslim country, or will it not be an issue as we are not Islamic ourselves. We are not married but have been together for 6 years. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you kindly in advance :)

Thanks so much for replying. I guess maybe just my employer as I can't tick the married box on the visa application. Thank you again!

yes, you can bring your partner, one can get tourist visa up to 90 days here in the Maldives.
