Mauritius

Singaporeans can visit Mauritius for up to 90 days without a visa. There should be at least six months' validity on your passport on the expected date of departure from Mauritius.

As immigration requirements can change at short notice, travellers are advised to contact their travel agent or the Consulate of Mauritius in Singapore, or refer to the Mauritius Passport and Immigration Office website (passport.govmu.org) for the latest information.

Petty crime, including pickpocketing and theft, occurs quite frequently. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash or wearing jewellery. Be aware of your surroundings and take care of your belongings, especially in crowded tourist areas such as Port Louis and Flic en Flac.

Some roads are in poor condition, and can be uneven and lack adequate lighting. In the event of an accident, do not leave the scene until the police arrive.

Local authority officials can demand that visitors produce identification documents. Visitors should carry a photocopy of their passports and the entry stamp page.

Drug offences carry heavy penalties. Certain pharmaceutical drugs are prohibited. Visitors should always carry medication in their original containers and keep a copy of the prescription. Pack your own luggage and do not accept ‘gifts’ from strangers or new acquaintances.

The import of spear-fishing equipment, plants, and fruits into Mauritius is prohibited.

The cyclone season is from November to May. Heavy rain during this period can cause landslides in particular areas. Monitor local media and weather forecasts and adhere to the instructions of local authorities. If in doubt, seek the advice of the local authorities, such as the Mauritius Meteorological Services. Purchase comprehensive travel insurance before departure.
