No visa needed — but don't skip the return ticket
The visa-free entry is straightforward, but immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check the 6-month rule before you board. If your passport expires sooner, you won't be allowed to fly. Double-check your passport's expiry date before booking.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before the 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
No, there is no formal requirement to show bank statements or cash. But if asked, having a credit card or a few hundred dollars in cash is enough to prove you can support yourself.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Mauritian immigration. Renew your passport before you travel.
The visa-free entry is for tourism and business meetings only. Remote work for a foreign employer is technically not allowed. If you plan to work, consider the Mauritius Premium Visa (1-year remote work permit).
No. There is no mandatory online arrival declaration for Brunei passport holders. You just fill out the standard paper landing card on the plane or at the airport.
Overstaying is a violation. You may be fined, detained, or banned from re-entering Mauritius for a period. Always leave on time.
Yes. Each child, including infants, needs their own passport with 6+ months validity. No visa is required, but they must have a return ticket and may be asked for a birth certificate if travelling with only one parent.
