It is known that the existence of a maximal green sequence for a quiver associated to surfaces is equivalent to the equality of the cluster algebra and upper cluster algebra generated by the quiver. This paper makes the first steps in investigating this behavior in the generalised case of cluster algebras from orbifolds; determining when such surfaces admit a diagram with a maximal green sequence. Specifically, we will provide a triangulation for the orientable surfaces of genus $n$ with an arbitrary number of orbifold points and arbitrary number of punctures, determine when it has a maximal green sequence, and construct one if it exists.
