The Government of Mauritius approved and initiated the re-opening of its borders in a staggered manner as described below:

Phase 1: Starting as from 1 September 2020 – Repatriation of Mauritians stranded abroad only

Phase 2: Starting as from 1 October 2020 – Four categories of travelers will gain access to the island in the following order of preference:

(a) Returning citizens
(b) Individuals with a resident status (Occupation permits/Residence permits etc.)
(c) Individuals working in Mauritius
(d) Visitors coming to Mauritius for a period exceeding 14 days
For the time being, 3 air corridors have been opened namely: Mauritius-Reunion Island (1 weekly flight), Mauritius-Paris (2 weekly flights) and Mauritius-Dubai (1 weekly flight).

Phase 3: This will be determined depending on the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic.

All incoming passengers will have to undergo a mandatory 14-days quarantine and the government has designated various hotels for that purpose. All prospective passengers (including children and infants) travelling to Mauritius for the month of October 2020 must possess the following documents:
1. a certificate of a negative COVID – 19 PCR test administered not more than 7 days prior to the date of embarkation.
2. a valid air ticket to Mauritius; and
3. proof of purchase of a travel package including accommodation, on a full board basis, at a designated hotel for a mandatory 14-day in-roomquarantine.

Attention is also drawn to the fact that

• any arriving passenger will have to undergo PCR tests on day of arrival, day 7 and day 14 following arrival: and
• if a PCR test reveals that a person is COVID-19 positive, he shall be transferred to a public medical institution for treatment.
