Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Lithuanian 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 before you leave, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Mauritius | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at passport control. A printed booking confirmation or an e-ticket on your phone works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Officers may ask to see where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you can support yourself. There is no fixed minimum amount, but having at least 100 USD per day in accessible funds is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from arrival
Your passport must be valid for 6 months after the day you land in Mauritius, not your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew before you go.
Visa-free for 90 days
Lithuanian passport holders can enter Mauritius without a visa for up to 90 days. No application, no fee, no paperwork — just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.
