Checklist for Successful Application
Before starting the form, gather your digital documents. You can check the visa cost and time page for processing details.
- Mauritius passport (valid for 6 months minimum).
- Digital copy of the passport info page.
- Professional digital photo with a white background.
- Document showing your return flight.
- Hotel confirmation or invitation letter.
Visa Validity and Conditions
The electronic permit is usually issued for 90 days. It generally allows for multiple entries, which means you can visit neighbouring countries and return using the same document within that period.
Fee Information
The cost varies based on the visa type and the processing speed you require. Fees are paid during the online submission process and are non-refundable.
Processing Timelines
There are three levels of processing speed available for Mauritius citizens. You can choose normal, urgent, or super fast based on your specific departure date.
Application Form
The digital form asks for your name, passport data, and travel plans. It is designed to be user-friendly. Review the visa requirements section to avoid errors during entry.
Track Status
You can verify your application status online using your reference number and passport number. An email notification is usually sent once the review is finished.
Avoid Mistakes
Common reasons for rejection include using a low-quality passport scan or having names that don't match your passport. Ensure all details are entered exactly as they appear.
Extensions
If your stay needs to be longer than 90 days, apply for an extension at the immigration office. Overstaying without approval can lead to fines and legal complications.
Tips for Travellers
Always keep a digital copy of your approval letter on your phone. Make sure your Yellow Fever certificate is up to date, as you will be asked for it at the airport.
