According to the land allotment policy, Maafushi, which is at the forefront of the guesthouse business and has the highest land value after capital Male, people eligible to apply for a new plot should be consistent with:

  • Anyone who has acquired more than 600 sqft of land or has land registered in his or her name from any part of the country is not eligible

  • If a plot owned by the applicant is less than 600 sqft of land, then the land should be released before applying

  • Not registering for a flat in a government-built building; if such a flat exists, it should be more than two years since it was vacated or sold off

According to the notification, the application form will be issued online and at the Maafushi council counter by June 15. After filling up the application form, it can be submitted along with the required documents to the Maafushi council office by June 15.
