Mauritius' ordinary naturalisation route separates a final continuous year from five years in the preceding seven. Commonwealth registration is a different route, and current statutory amendments must be read alongside the older official consolidation.
Mauritius passport rank
About the Mauritius passport
The Mauritius passport is grouped with Africa in this index. It ranks #31 globally and #2 among 54 Africa passports, with a mobility score of 153.
Its current access profile includes 112 visa-free destinations,30 visas on arrival, and 11 destinations using an ETA. The detailed list below separates these from eVisas, traditional visas, and any officially documented entry restrictions.
Mauritius uses domicile and alternative day tests for individual tax residence. Residents' foreign income has receipt/dealing-in-Mauritius rules, with special remote-worker provisions and limited foreign-tax credits; residence alone is not a complete tax calculation.
Entry rules can change without notice. Treat this as a comparison tool and verify official requirements before travel.
