The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has published an update to its travel guidance for Mauritius. The revision includes new information regarding local demonstrations and community unrest in the territory.
British citizens can visit the country without a visa for a maximum duration of 60 days. Under the updated rules, travellers must ensure their passports are valid for the duration of their stay and contain one blank page. The guidance also advises obtaining appropriate travel insurance that covers the specific itinerary and activities planned.
Entry procedures require travellers to complete the Mauritius All in One travel form online before arrival. Access to Mauritius will be denied if a visitor does not hold a valid travel document or attempts to use a lost or stolen passport.
The announcement does not state a specific timeline for when these conditions might change or provide further details on the nature of the community unrest mentioned.
