Alcohol is not allowed in Male’ the capital of Maldives, but you can have  it in resort or the Airport Hotel in Hulhule. Expatriates working in Maldives can apply for a liquor permit and have it at home respecting the laws in Maldives.

I’m planning a trip to Maldives – I know liquor is only allowed at resorts, however, liquor at my resort seems very overpriced. When my
flight lands in Male, can I purchase liquor from a duty free shop to take to my resort?

Hi,Very useful blog. I hope to work in the Maldives soon but just wanted to ask more about the expat alcohol permit. How do you get one and where do you buy the alcohol when you have one? Also, do you know what the allowance is? Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

You need to get a letter from your employer and submit the application to the Trade ministry with a passport size photograph. You will get the permit same day. You need to go to the Airport island to buy the stuff.
