Mauritius visa and entry requirements for US, UK, Canadian, Australian, NZ and Irish citizens

All listed citizens may travel to Mauritius without a visa for tourism or business, staying up to 90 days per visit. No pre‑travel electronic authorisation (ETA) is needed. Extend the stay at the Immigration Office in Port Louis if you need more time.

The visa‑free period is 90 days in any 180‑day window. Overstaying incurs fines and possible removal. If you need to stay longer, apply for a visa extension before the 90‑day limit expires.

Mauritius does not require an ETA for visa‑free nationals. Only travellers who need a visa or who are subject to a health or security screening may be asked for a pre‑arrival permit.

Valid passport (minimum 6 months).

Proof of sufficient funds (≈ US$100 per day, check).

Confirmed onward or return ticket.

Hotel reservation or address of stay.

No criminal record that would bar entry (check).

Visit the Immigration Office in Port Louis (coordinates approx [-20.1600, 57.5020]) before your 90‑day limit. Provide a reason, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds. Extensions are granted at officer discretion, typically for up to 30 days.
