Covid-19 updates : Entry to Mauritius prohibited for UK and South African passengers
Article Published on January 11, 2021
As communicated in our recent e-news, the government approved the extension of the quarantine period from 15 January 2021 to 15 February 20211. As an additional measure of precaution, following growing concerns in light of the new Covid-19 variant detected in the UK and South Africa, the government has taken the decision to ban entry to Mauritius for the following categories of travellers:
1. Passengers from UK and South Africa and
2. Passengers who have transited through these countries during the last 15 days
This prohibition stands until 31 January 2021.
Foreign nationals coming from the UK and South Africa are nevertheless still eligible to apply for the Premium Visa2, which entitles them to a one-year stay on the island and is renewable thereafter. Successful applicants from UK and South Africa may then only travel to Mauritius when the restriction is lifted.
We will endeavour to keep our valued clients informed of the developments in that regards.
