Requirements for tourists to enter Mauritius

With its rich landscapes, white sandy beaches and breathtaking crystal clear turquoise lagoons, Mauritius is a dream holiday destination for unwinding and relaxing. Besides its natural beauties, the country offers several incentives and attractions, backed by top-class resorts and hotels, reliable and operational services, and infrastructure for a unique travelling experience. If you’ve planned to come and enjoy a relaxing escape to the paradisiac island of Mauritius, you need to take note of some travelling requirements set by the country. To successfully plan for your trip, the following conditions must be fulfilled to gain access to the country:

– The Mauritian borders are open and welcoming travellers since the 1st of October 2021.

– You need a valid passport to enter Mauritius and its validity should be for a minimum of six months from the date you enter the country.

– Previously, fully vaccinated passengers had to present a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours before departure. In line with previous suggestions from governmental and non-governmental parties, the Ministry of Health and Wellness has reviewed the sanitary protocol of the nation. To make the travelling experience to Mauritius easier, the Republic of Mauritius has dropped the requirement for all incoming visitors to present a negative PCR test before being allowed into the country.

– Travellers and visitors are also required to have comprehensive travel insurance which will cover all overseas medical costs, including medical repatriation/evacuation, repatriation of remains and legal costs. You can purchase this medical cover after buying your flight ticket and prior to your trip to Mauritius. Note that Mauritian citizens, resident permit holders and occupational permit holders are exempted.

– Strict sanitary measures are in place in Mauritius to help ensure the safety of residents and travellers. Rest assured that proper access, with capacity limits, is given to medical facilities, restaurants, sporting complex beaches and other public areas.

– As an initiative to help travellers securely plan for their trip to the island and in regards to health safety concerns, the Government of Mauritius provides a platform that allows you to quickly fill in all necessary paperwork to avoid any administrative delays at your arrival.
