St Marie : Profile

Clearance

St.Marie on the east coast of Madagascar is now an official port of entry. Clearance procedures are straightforward, the officials very service minded and in contrast to Nosy Be, there are no charges for either health authorities, police clearance, MAF or others. Also, on request, you will be granted a 3 month visa rather than the 1 month visa which you obtain in Nosy Be at the same cost of 200.000 FMG (32 US$).
