Mauritania launches e-visa system for travellers
Mauritania has introduced an electronic visa (e-visa) system for international visitors. The use of this visa started on January 5.
Travellers can apply for an e-visa on the official website of Mauritania’s National Agency for the Population Register and Secure Titles, before boarding flights to the country.
The e-visas are available for 30, 60, or 90 days.
Applicants need to provide personal details, including their name, date of birth, nationality, and passport information. A passport-style photo and a copy of a passport valid for at least six months are also required.
Once approved, the e-visa will include a QR code. Travellers must print the document and show it to security officers on arrival. Visa fees are paid at the airport in Mauritania.
