Mauritius visa for Indians is one of the simplest entry arrangements in the world — Indian tourists do not need to apply for a visa in advance at all. Mauritius grants visa-free / visa-on-arrival style entry to Indian passport holders for short tourism stays. You land at the airport, show your documents at immigration, and receive an entry stamp — at zero visa cost.
Visa-Free Entry: How It Works
Indian citizens travelling to Mauritius for tourism are granted entry on arrival by Mauritian immigration authorities. There is no advance application, no consulate visit, and no visa fee. The immigration officer stamps your passport with the authorised visiting period — commonly up to 60 days, depending on your circumstances (some sources mention up to 90 days, so treat 60 days as the safe planning figure). The final decision on entry always rests with the immigration officer.
The MAU Pass Digital Form (Mandatory)
Before you fly, you must complete the All-in-One Travel Digital Form — commonly called the MAU Pass — online at the official safemauritius.govmu.org portal. This health and arrival declaration is mandatory under Mauritian law for all travellers. Fill it before departure and keep the generated QR code ready to show on arrival.
Documents to Carry for Mauritius Entry
No visa application is needed, but you must carry the right documents — immigration can refuse entry if anything is missing.
| Document | Details |
|---|---|
| Valid Indian passport | Valid at least 6 months from your date of entry, with blank pages for stamps |
| Return flight ticket | Confirmed return or onward ticket — proof you will leave Mauritius |
| Hotel booking confirmation | Confirmed accommodation for your full stay, or an invitation letter if staying with a host |
| Proof of funds | Bank statements, cash, or cards covering your stay (around USD 100 per day is a common guideline) |
| MAU Pass QR code | The completed All-in-One Travel Digital Form, done online before departure |
| Travel insurance (recommended) | Medical and trip cover for peace of mind during your island stay |
Step-by-Step Arrival Process
- Complete the MAU Pass form online before your flight and save the QR code.
- Keep documents handy in your cabin bag — passport, return ticket, hotel booking, funds proof.
- Land at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport and head to immigration.
- Present your documents and answer the officer’s questions politely.
- Receive your entry stamp with the authorised stay period (commonly up to 60 days).
Fees and Stay Duration
There is no visa fee for Indian tourists — short-term tourist entry is completely free. The stay granted is commonly up to 60 days; longer stays need an extension or a proper visa through the authorities. Overstaying is taken seriously, so plan your return within the stamped period.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

- One-way ticket: a return or onward ticket is essential; one-way travellers can be refused entry.
- No accommodation proof: carry confirmed hotel bookings for every night.
