Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get a free 60-day visa on arrival at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport. Have your passport, return ticket, and proof of accommodation ready — immigration officers ask for all three. No advance application needed.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your date of entry. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa on arrival | Immigration officers always ask for a confirmed return or onward ticket. A flight booking confirmation or e-ticket printout works. Without one, you may be refused entry. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Immigration officers ask for it at the counter. A printout or a screenshot on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Carry a bank statement or enough cash to show you can support yourself. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays. A daily budget of around $100 USD per person is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
