Travel Visa Requirements

A visa is a travel document that allows you to enter a foreign country (e.g Mauritius) for a specific period of time.
Depending on your passport, you may need to apply for a visa before travelling, either at an embassy, consulate, or online, or you may obtain a visa on arrival. Visas are usually affixed onto your passport and state how long you can stay.
