    Mauritius: listed national passports with no visa required

    The current PIO country table expressly labels these nationalities 'No visa required'.

    • Ordinary/nationality result only: the country table does not establish diplomatic, official, service, special, laissez-passer, refugee, stateless, or other travel-document treatment.
    • A no-visa classification is not guaranteed admission. Every entrant still needs a recognized passport or travel document, return ticket, re-entry eligibility, funds, and confirmed accommodation or sponsorship.
    • No gainful activity without a valid residence permit. Residence/work, transit, crew, medical, social/religious, marriage, study, and case-specific entry rules remain separate.

  2. Current official routeVisa on arrival

    Mauritius: listed national passports with a 60-day visa on arrival

    The current PIO country table expressly provides a visa for sixty days on arrival to these nationalities.

    • Ordinary/nationality result only, for the table's stated 60-day visa-on-arrival period; the Immigration Officer determines admission and the length of any particular visit.
    • Taiwan is a special document case: its passport is generally listed as unrecognized, but PIO specifically says Taiwan passport holders may receive a 60-day visa on arrival.
    • Every entrant must meet the current passport/document, return-ticket, re-entry, funds, and accommodation/sponsorship requirements; no gainful activity is permitted without a residence permit.
    • Does not classify diplomatic, official, service, special, laissez-passer, refugee, stateless, residence, work, crew, transit, medical, social/religious, marriage, study, or case-specific exceptions.

  3. Current official routeVisa on arrival

    Mauritius: listed national passports with a two-week visa on arrival

    The current PIO country table expressly provides a visa for two weeks on arrival to these nationalities.

    • Ordinary/nationality result only, for the table's stated two-week visa-on-arrival period; it does not establish a 60-day entitlement.
    • The Immigration Officer makes the final admission decision and decides the length of a particular visit after examination at entry.
    • Every entrant must meet the current passport/document, return-ticket, re-entry, funds, and accommodation/sponsorship requirements; no gainful activity is permitted without a residence permit.
    • Does not classify diplomatic, official, service, special, laissez-passer, refugee, stateless, residence, work, crew, transit, medical, social/religious, marriage, study, or case-specific exceptions.

  4. Current official routeVisa required

    Mauritius: listed national passports requiring a visa before travel

    The current PIO table requires a visa before travel for these nationalities, and PIO separately gives the same rule for Guyana.

    • Ordinary/nationality result only. Apply through a Mauritian diplomatic or consular representative, Air Mauritius where applicable, or PIO's stated fallback channel; wait for the decision before travel.
    • PIO's current published routes are consular/representative, Air Mauritius office, or the stated email fallback. No nationality-wide electronic-visa route is established by the reviewed sources.
    • A visa permits travel to a port of entry but does not guarantee admission; all passport/document, purpose, return-ticket, re-entry, funds, accommodation, and immigration-examination requirements still apply.
    • Does not override diplomatic, official, service, special, laissez-passer, refugee, stateless, residence, work, crew, transit, medical, social/religious, marriage, study, or case-specific exceptions.

    Kosovo ordinary passports: Mauritius advance visa

    Mauritius's current government consular page expressly says Kosovo passport holders need a visa and must apply at least one month before departure.

    • Applies to a valid ordinary Kosovo passport for a short visitor trip; diplomatic, official, service, refugee, alien and other travel documents are outside this finding.
    • Apply for the visa at least one month before departure for Mauritius; this is an advance-visa baseline, not electronic or arrival issuance.
    • Final admission, passport validity, return travel, accommodation, funds, work, residence, transit and any individual immigration-officer conditions remain separate.
