Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Mauritius. Airlines check this at check-in. If your passport expires within 6 months, you may still enter as long as it covers your stay, but some airlines enforce the 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Mauritius | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at passport control. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready. Without it, you may be denied boarding or entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter of invitation from your host in Mauritius. Immigration may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to at least 3,000 MUR per day (roughly $65 USD) in cash, card, or bank statement. Immigration rarely checks this for Luxembourg passport holders, but it's a legal requirement and can be requested. | Recommended |
