Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Mauritius | Your Czech passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Mauritius does not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date — just enough to cover your stay. Airlines may still enforce the 6-month rule, so check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Mauritius | Immigration officers at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready. Overstaying the 90-day visa-free period costs 500 MUR per day, paid at the airport. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask for your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Keep a copy on your phone or printed. If staying with friends, they can send you a signed invitation with their contact details. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Officers occasionally ask for evidence of sufficient funds. Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least 3,000 MUR per day of your stay. A recent payslip or cash works too. | Recommended |
Travel insurance is not mandatory, but don't skip it
Mauritius has good medical facilities, but treatment is expensive. A simple hospital visit can cost hundreds of euros. Travel insurance covering medical evacuation is cheap peace of mind.
Overstaying is a real problem
The 90-day limit is strict. Overstay even by a day and you risk a fine (around 10,000 MUR) and a note on your record. Set a reminder to leave on time.
