Mauritius

While citizens of most European and African countries do not need a visa for touristic travels, a visa can be required either prior to travel or upon arrival – use the website of the Passport and Immigration Office to check for individual requirements. All persons coming to Mauritius for purposes other than tourism, visit or business need to apply for a visa/permit before undertaking any travel. Holders of Diplomatic Passports other than those issued by the Government of Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Yemen, and Laissez-passer issued from internationally recognized organizations are exempt from visa regulations. A visa does allow the bearer to travel to Mauritius, while the final admission for entering rests upon the Immigration Officer at the point of entry.

Mauritius Post ltd (MPL) operates across the whole island. Their shops can be recognized by their yellow and blue logo, and they sell every product and attendance, from stamps and packages to pick up and financial services. A central office can be found at Port Louis but the official website informs about every other subsidiary and its opening hours.

Pharmacies can be found across the whole island, and they are always marked with explicit emblems. A central one, Newton Pharmacy, is located in Port Louis but there are several other ones in every bigger town – while they are usually open from 8am-5pm on weekdays, they close on Saturdays at 2pm already.
