Visa & Resident Card
in Madagascar
The procedure is complex. We know it by heart — we've walked dozens of people through it.

If you plan to stay in Madagascar longer than 30 days, or start a business, buy property or open a bank account — a tourist visa is a dead end.
The transformable visa is the one that can be converted on-site into a Resident Card. It's the only safe path to long-term life on the island. It's issued by the Embassy of Madagascar in Berlin — the competent embassy for citizens of Poland and several other European countries.
Here's what awaits you at each stage. We'll cover document specifics during consultation — because the list depends on your situation.
Transformable visa application. Complete documents, €35 fee, around 10 business days processing.
After arrival — registration with EDBM and starting the visa-to-resident-card conversion process.
Obtain your residency. Legally live, work, buy property and register a company.
This is where you submit your visa application. The embassy serves citizens of Poland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania and Iceland.
Do you know which documents need apostille and where to get one? Without it, your application will be rejected.
The most common — and most expensive — mistake. You have to fly back to Europe and start over.
Sworn translation has specific requirements. Do you know them?
After arrival, you have limited time. Delay = loss of status and trip home.
The documentation is extensive and depends on your situation. There's no universal checklist — every case is different.
Get in touch — after a brief conversation we'll send you a personalized document list and timeline. Free and no obligation.
