Can you bring a weapon to Maldives?

• Weapons

  prohibited

  The airport operator's customs page lists under weapons and chemicals: "Firearms, ammunition, replicas, explosives, fireworks, bladed weapons, toxic substances, and poisons" — so replicas and bladed weapons are covered, not just firearms. Prohibited items other than narcotics are confiscated and released to foreign nationals only at departure. The Maldives consulate page also states the import of firearms is strictly prohibited.

  Also covers: weapons, firearms, guns, ammunition
