The ANRPTS list is used because it is the directly competent current visitor procedure; it is corroborated by the Foreign Affairs list. - The policy applies only to ordinary passports from the named reciprocal-agreement countries for a short visit. It does not extend Morocco, Syria, Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, Romania, Spain, Turkey, Brazil, China, Iran or India, whose listed agreements are limited to diplomatic, service or official passports. - ANRPTS's visitor procedure lists all eleven countries. A current APIM investment-information page lists only Algeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, Libya, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Tunisia, omitting Burkina Faso, Chad and Guinea-Bissau. The direct ANRPTS and Foreign Affairs schedules are given precedence; this unresolved official-source discrepancy requires periodic review. - The APIM summary says short stays are up to 90 days. Passport validity, border examination, security, health, purpose, work, residence, transit, diplomatic, service, UN and other special-document rules remain outside this ordinary visitor policy. Official sources: - [National Agency for the Population Register and Secure Titles (ANRPTS), Ministry of Interior: ANRPTS: visitor eVisa procedure and reciprocal visa-exemption list](https://anrpts.gov.mr/fr/service-de-lagance/visitors) - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and Mauritanians Abroad: Foreign Affairs Ministry: entry-visa process and reciprocal-waiver agreements](https://www.diplomatie.gov.mr/index.php/fr/node/50) - [Investment Promotion Agency of Mauritania (APIM): Investment Promotion Agency: visitor eVisa and short-stay exemption summary](https://apim.gov.mr/why-mauritania/living-in-mauritania/) - **Current official route — Other foreign ordinary passports: Mauritania electronic visitor visa** (eVisa) ANRPTS states that foreign visitors may request an online entry visa, that sticker visas have been replaced by online visas, and that a validated visa is printed and used for travel. Together with its exhaustive named reciprocal-exemption list, this directly supports an eVisa baseline for every other foreign ordinary passport in the catalog. - Complete the ANRPTS online request, await validation, print the resulting eVisa for boarding, and complete biometrics at the Mauritanian point of entry. The live service offers 30-day, 90-day and 360-day packages and says electronically issued visas allow entry via all international ports of entry. - The official procedure requires a passport valid for at least six months. ANRPTS says no entry visa may be obtained with a passport under six months' validity without prior authorization from competent authorities. - Airport and border-point processing named in the government procedures portal refers to the ANRPTS procedure and biometric completion. It does not describe a nationality-wide application for a visa on arrival, so this policy remains evisa. - This policy excludes the eleven named ordinary-passport reciprocal exemptions, Mauritanian citizenship, diplomatic/service/official and UN documents, work and residence visas, transit, long-stay and individual security or admissibility decisions.
