Visa Exemption: Citizens of many countries do not require a visa to enter Mauritius for short stays (usually up to 90 days) for tourism, business, or family visits. These countries include most European Union countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and many others. However, the length of stay permitted and specific conditions may vary, so it's essential to check if your nationality qualifies for visa exemption and any conditions associated with it. Visa on Arrival: Mauritius offers visa on arrival for citizens of some countries who are not eligible for visa exemption. Travelers can obtain a visa upon arrival at the airport or designated entry points. The visa on arrival typically allows for short stays for tourism, business, or family visits. Visa Application: If your nationality requires a visa to enter Mauritius, you will need to apply for one in advance at a Mauritian embassy, consulate, or visa application center in your country of residence. The application process usually involves submitting an application form, passport photos, a valid passport, proof of accommodation, proof of sufficient funds, and paying a visa fee. Transit Visa: If you are transiting through Mauritius on your way to another country and you need to leave the airport or transit area, you may require a transit visa. This depends on your nationality and the duration of your layover. Transit visas are typically required for longer layovers or if you plan to leave the airport. It's essential to check the specific visa requirements for your nationality and the purpose of your visit to Mauritius before traveling.
