Travellers should avoid demonstrations or large gatherings as some demonstrations on Malé island and in non-resort islands have turned violent.

There was a small bomb on the capital island of Malé on 29 September which injured a number of people including some British nationals and other foreigners. You should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

Possession of illegal drugs carries severe penalties.

Public observance of any religion other than Islam is prohibited.
