What Mauritians Need to Know About ETIAS
ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is a new pre-screening system for visa-exempt travelers heading to Europe's Schengen Area. As Mauritian citizens, you will need to apply for ETIAS online before visiting any of the 30 Schengen countries. The good news: ETIAS is fast, affordable, and valid for multiple trips over 3 years. Most applications are completed almost instantly. The Mauritius passport ranks #66 globally, providing visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 122 countries. This strong travel freedom means ETIAS is a minor requirement — not a full visa process.

Planning to stay longer than 90 days?
