## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Mauritanian ordinary passports: named reciprocal visa-free short visits** (Visa-free)
  Mauritania's current MFA records reciprocal visa-waiver agreements, without a diplomatic/service-only limitation, for Libya, Tunisia, Mali, Niger, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau and Chad.
  - Use a valid Mauritanian ordinary passport. The MFA page expressly limits several other agreements to diplomatic and service passports but does not apply that limitation to these seven named destinations.
  - The MFA list establishes the visa-waiver route only; it does not establish duration, work, residence, transit, entry point, carrier requirements, document-recognition, mission availability or final admission conditions.
  - This conclusion rests on Mauritania's named reciprocal agreements, not on ECOWAS membership or a regional free-movement presumption.

- **Current official route — Libya: current full ordinary-passport visitor exemption** (Visa-free)
  E-VISA LIBYA's current active country configuration explicitly marks these ordinary-passport nationalities with FULL exemption rather than an electronic-visa requirement.
  - This is limited to the ordinary short-visitor setting represented by the live national eligibility configuration. It does not establish treatment for diplomatic or service passports, residence, work, group travel, or other special cases.
  - Passport validity, the live eligibility check, carrier requirements and final border admission remain separate.
