Mauritius Tourist Visa
The Mauritius Tourist Visa is issued as a free visa-on-arrival for Indian nationals travelling for holidays, sightseeing, or general leisure purposes. This Mauritius Visa does not need to be arranged in advance; eligible travellers are stamped in at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, generally for a stay of up to 60 days, provided they meet standard entry requirements. The stay can be extended on a case-by-case basis, up to a maximum of six months within a calendar year, by applying at the Passport and Immigration Office in Port Louis before the initial entry period expires. A visa or visa-free status does not guarantee entry; the final decision rests with the immigration officer at the point of entry, who may request proof of funds, your return ticket, or accommodation details. This visa does not permit any form of paid work.
Eligibility
You may apply for a Mauritius Tourist Visa if:
- You are travelling to Mauritius primarily for tourism, sightseeing, holidays, or leisure travel.
- You are not planning to undertake employment, business activities, or long-term study during your stay.
- Your intended stay complies with the validity and duration permitted under your visa category.
- You can provide a planned travel itinerary, including accommodation details and confirmed return or onward travel arrangements.
- You have sufficient financial means to support yourself throughout your stay and can provide proof of funds when required.
- You hold a valid passport and meet the applicable visa requirements prescribed by the Mauritian immigration authorities.
The primary purpose of your visit should be tourism. Your supporting documents, travel itinerary, accommodation bookings, financial evidence, and other required records should clearly demonstrate that your trip is intended for leisure or holiday purposes.

Mauritius Visa Processing Time
Since the Mauritius Tourist Visa is granted on arrival for eligible Indian nationals, there is no advance processing wait; the stamp is issued at the immigration counter within minutes, provided your documentation is in order. If using the All-in-One Travel Digital Form, submission is processed instantly with a QR code issued for use at the airport. Extension applications, if needed, should be submitted at the Port Louis immigration office before your initial 60-day entry expires, and should be filed with enough lead time to avoid overstaying while the extension is processed.
