Documents You Need for a Mauritius Visa
The standard supporting documents required for a Mauritius short-stay visa application.
Important
For a short-stay visa, the Passport and Immigration Office generally requires a completed and signed visa application form, two recent passport-size photos and a photocopy of the data pages of your passport. Applicants not residing in their country of origin should also include a copy of their residence permit.
Depending on the visa type you may also need a hotel reservation, a copy of your return ticket, a recent bank statement and, for business or social visas, a sponsorship or invitation letter from the relevant company, ministry or organisation in Mauritius. All documents should be translated into English or French.
