Subject:                      Information Sheet

Reference is made to our circular number 220-TSP/CIR/2014/13 (Submission of Information Sheet) issued on 31 December 2014.

In accordance with the aforementioned circular, operators of tourist establishments were required to submit an Information Sheet to MIRA comprising of details of guests who stayed in the establishments. However, with the commencement of the Sixth Amendment to the Maldives Tourism Act on 1 November 2015, guesthouse operators will no longer be required to submit the Information Sheet to MIRA.

Hence, guesthouse operators will not be required to submit the Information Sheet to MIRA from November 2015 onwards. The final Information Sheet guesthouse operators are required to submit is the Information Sheet for October 2015, which would be due on 8 November 2015.

In addition, please be informed that guesthouses are NOT required to charge “Green Tax” from tourists. For more information, refer to our circular number 220-TP/CIR/2015/14 issued on 15 October 2015.
