All visitors must get a visa before arriving.
Visas are valid for up to three months from the date of entry.
But because Madagascar experiences wide climatic variation, the central highlands can still be pleasant during summer. In March, Alahamady Be is the low key Malagasy New Year. In November-December it's worth catching the Gasytsara contemporary music festival in Tana. We encourage you to verify any critical information with the relevant authorities before you travel. This includes information on visa requirements, health and safety, customs, and transportation.
