Probably not; the government’s official site does not ask for payment.

Not really, but since it’s an off-beaten track, I recommend having Travel Insurance during your trip. I recommend SafetyWing!

11. Is Yellow Fever vaccination required?

It’s not required by Madagascar unless you come from a country that requires you to have it.

Enjoy the beauty of Madagascar as you visit it. Don’t be disappointed, though, as there are no Lions, Zebras, Giraffes, Hippos, or Penguins, unlike in the movie, but you would fall in love with the Lemurs. I hope you now know how to get a Madagascar EVisa so that your travel would be smoother. Enjoy this island nation! ​
