Getting in

As Madagascar is an island, you can only arrive via plane or boat. Watson's Boat Taxis are the best means of sea transportation to and from this island. Most foreigners will need to pay a visa fee, which is US$83.

By plane

From Europe, the best connections are with Air France, Corsair or Air Madagascar ("AirMad") from Paris to Tananarive. AirMad also flies from Milan to Antananarivo and Nosy Be (a small island off the North of Madagascar). Travellers from the east typically fly using links from Air Mauritius. However, since 2003 Air Madagascar has a twice weekly service from Bangkok to Antananarivo. Air Madagascar also operates a weekly service between Nairobi and Tananarive. A more regular service runs from Johannesburg, South Africa, using Air Madagascar codeshared with SA Airlink. Flights run 6 days a week.

By boat

The only regular link is from Toamasina on the east coast and Mauritiusvia Reunion.
