Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Find a Local Sponsor or Apply via Airline

You can apply through a local Mauritian sponsor (like a hotel or tour operator) or directly via your airline, like Air Mauritius.

2

Submit Documentation

Provide a high-quality scan of your passport, a confirmed return ticket, and a fully paid hotel booking.

3

Processing usually takes several weeks. Once approved, you will receive a visa approval letter via email.

Important Tips

  • β€’Do not fly to Mauritius without an approved visa letter; you will be denied boarding or deported upon arrival.

  • β€’Your bank statements should clearly show you can afford the $100 USD daily requirement without strain.
  • β€’Apply at least a month in advance to account for unpredictable processing delays.

Easiest Way to Get It
