Alternatively, an eVisa valid for 60 days can be obtained online before departure, which is recommended to save time at the airport. Always carry sufficient USD or EUR in cash to pay the visa fee on arrival. Medical facilities outside Antananarivo are limited, so comprehensive travel insurance is strongly advised. Madagascar is an endemic malaria zone, so consult your doctor about prophylaxis before travel.
