Visa Information

Planning a trip to Mauritius? Here is a general overview of entry and visa requirements. Rules depend on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay, so always confirm with the official sources below before you travel.

Do I need a visa?

Mauritius welcomes visitors from many countries visa-free for tourism, typically for stays of up to 60 days. Travellers from some countries are granted a visa on arrival, while others must obtain a visa in advance. Your nationality determines which category applies to you.

On arrival

Most visitors complete entry formalities at the airport. Immigration officers may ask to see your supporting documents, so keep them easy to reach.

Documents to have ready

• A passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of arrival.
• A confirmed return or onward ticket.
• Proof of accommodation for your stay (your Holiday Island booking confirmation can help here).
• Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of your visit.
• A completed arrival/health declaration if required at the time of travel.

Health and entry requirements

Entry and health requirements can change at short notice. Check whether any vaccinations, declarations, or travel registrations are required before departure.

Extending your stay

If you wish to stay longer than your permitted period, contact the Passport and Immigration Office in Mauritius before your authorised stay expires.
