FAQs

Which countries allow visa-free entry for Mauritius passport holders?

Mauritius passport holders can enter 115+ countries visa-free, including France, Germany, Singapore, South Africa, the UAE, and Japan. These countries allow short-term tourism or business visits without requiring a visa in advance.

Do I still need a return ticket for visa-free travel?

Yes, a return or onward ticket is typically required. Immigration officers may ask for proof that you intend to leave the country within the allowed period. It is important for visa-free or visa-on-arrival entries, as failure to provide return proof could result in denied entry.

Can Mauritius passport holders travel to Europe without a visa?

Yes, Mauritian citizens can enter the Schengen Area visa-free for up to 90 days within 180 days. This includes countries like France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. However, they cannot work or study under visa-free entry and must carry proof of accommodation, funds, and return tickets.

What documents should I carry when travelling visa-free?

When travelling visa-free, carry:

• Valid Mauritius passport (6-month validity recommended)
• Return or onward flight ticket
• Proof of accommodation
• Travel insurance (mandatory for Europe and some others)
• Proof of sufficient funds
• Any entry forms (if required by the destination)

Note: Document requirements may differ. Check with the destination country’s embassy website before travel.

What should I do if visa policies change after I have planned a visa-free trip?

If visa policies change after planning, immediately:

1. Visit the official embassy/consulate website of the destination country.
2. Apply for a visa online if eligible (eVisa or ETA).
3. Contact your airline for rebooking or refund options.
4. Check travel insurance coverage for such policy changes.

Is visa-free entry the same for Mauritius residents and Mauritius passport holders?

No, visa-free access depends on your passport, not residency. Only Mauritius passport holders enjoy the listed visa-free benefits. If you’re a resident in Mauritius but hold another passport, visa rules will apply based on that nationality.

Is it safe to travel visa-free from Mauritius to other countries?

Yes, traveling visa-free is generally safe as long as you follow immigration rules. Ensure you:

• Have return/onward tickets
• Respect the allowed duration of stay
• Comply with entry conditions

Do Mauritius passport holders get a visa on arrival in most countries?

Mauritius citizens enjoy Visa on Arrival (VOA) in 26 countries, including the Maldives, Nepal, Seychelles, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. While it simplifies travel, some VOAs may require fees, photos, or forms upon arrival. Always check requirements before departure.

Can I work or study in a visa-free country with a Mauritius passport?

No, visa-free travel only permits tourism or short business visits. You cannot work, study, or engage in long-term stays without a proper visa or permit. For employment or education abroad, apply through the respective country’s work or student visa process.

What is the maximum visa-free stay allowed for Mauritius passport holders?

Visa-free countries for Mauritius passport holders and their stay durations:
