Xpat

Apply for, track and verify Maldivian work permits and visas online through the government's official expatriate management system. About Xpat: Xpat (xpat.egov.mv) is the official expatriate management system developed and managed by the Maldives' Ministry of Homeland Security and Technology, part of the wider OneGov Portal. It's the required channel for Work Visa applications, letting employers and employees submit requests, track status, verify work permits, and handle related payments entirely online rather than in person. Key Features: Work Visa Applications: Submit and track Work Visa requests directly through the online system. Work Permit Verification: Check the validity and status of an issued work permit. Employment Approval Management: Employers manage Employment Approvals and visa requests for their foreign staff. Online Payments: Handle visa-related fees and pending payments directly within the platform. How to Get Started: Visit xpat.egov.mv and log in (employer or employee access, depending on your role). Locate the relevant work permit or employee profile. Open the Visa tab and select the type of request you need to submit. Upload the required documents and complete any associated payment online. Important Notice: Requirements and processes around expatriate employment are subject to regulatory changes and can carry significant fines for non-compliance — always check the current regulation in force on the platform itself before submitting or renewing an application.
