Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Mauritius | Your Slovak passport needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Mauritius does not enforce a 6-month validity rule — your passport just needs to be valid for the duration of your stay. Airlines may still check for 6 months validity, so verify with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of departure | You need a confirmed onward or return flight ticket showing you leave Mauritius within 90 days. Officers at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport check this for every foreign visitor. A printed or digital copy on your phone works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation letter | Have your hotel reservation, Airbnb booking, or a letter from your host ready. Immigration may ask where you are staying during your visit. A printed confirmation or a copy on your phone is sufficient. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Carry evidence of sufficient funds — around 3,000 MUR (approx. €60) per day of your stay. A recent bank statement or credit card with available limit works. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
No visa, no fee, no forms
Slovak passport holders get 90 days visa-free on arrival. No application, no payment, no online form. Just show your passport.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport expires within 6 months of your entry date, you won't be allowed to fly. Renew first.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free stay is fixed at 90 days and cannot be extended. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a different visa type (like a work or retirement permit) before your 90 days are up.
No. Mauritius does not require an online arrival declaration for Slovak passport holders. You just show up with your passport and boarding pass.
You will be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at immigration. Renew your passport before traveling.
No. Entry is completely free — no visa, no fee, no application.
Technically, no — the visa-free entry is for tourism only. But Mauritius has a separate 'Premium Travel Visa' for digital nomads (up to 1 year). If you plan to work, apply for that instead.
You'll be fined per day overstayed, and it may affect future visits. Overstaying by more than a few days can lead to deportation and a ban.
Only if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk (like parts of Africa or South America). Coming directly from Slovakia — no vaccine required.
