Diplomatic relations were established between Singapore and the Maldives on 20 February 1975.^[3] The Maldives had not sent a High Commissioner to Singapore for more than 30 years, but Ibrahim Shaheed Zaki served as the country's first non-resident High Commissioner from 30 March to 1 May 2007.^[4]

In November 2007, a High Commission office was opened in Singapore.^[5] From November 29, 2007, to 2008, Hassan Sobir served as the first permanent High Commissioner.

The embassy was the Embassy of the Maldives in Singapore from October 2016,^[6] when the Maldives left the Commonwealth of Nations, to February 2020. It was called "Embassy of the Maldives in Singapore''.^[7]

On 1 February 2020, when the Maldives returned to its status as a Commonwealth Republic, the overseas mission reverted to the Office of the High Commission of the Maldives.^[8]
