Madagascar in brief
Madagascar is an island nation off the southeast coast of Africa with two official languages, French and Malagasy. Long-term stay is arranged through the Ministère de l'Intérieur (long-stay visa and resident card) under categories such as "investor", "employee", "family reunification", "retiree", "student" and others; employees require a separate work permit from the labour ministry. Nationality under the Nationality Code (Ordonnance No. 60-064 of 1960, as amended) does not permit dual nationality and calls for 5 years of residence for ordinary naturalisation. The country remains one of the poorest in the world according to official 2018 census statistics and is subject to seasonal tropical cyclones (November–April) and endemic malaria; at the same time, its unique endemic flora and fauna (baobabs, lemurs) form the basis of inbound tourism, and importing pets is not complicated by quarantine.
