Mauritius is now open!

Article Published on November 12, 2021

On 1 October 2021, Mauritius has finally fully reopened its borders after an 18-months closure. Fully vaccinated travelers are now able to explore the island and its attractions without restrictions. For unvaccinated travelers, the quarantine period of 14 days will still apply.

With the health and safety of incoming visitors and the local population alike being of utmost importance, additional travel requirements have been implemented to capture relevant Covid-19 data and ensure stricter control. In an effort to facilitate the form-filing process, the Government has introduced a new streamlined digital solution, the All-In-One Travel Form (the “Form") which has been designed to allow quick and efficient completion of the five travel forms1 required by Mauritian Authorities for entry to the island.

Priding itself on having one of the highest vaccination rates in Africa - with well over 80% of its adult population being vaccinated – Mauritius rejoices in welcoming visitors in a safe and secure manner, all while providing them with both optimum passenger and holiday experiences. Indeed, having recently been honoured with the titles of ‘Leading Adventure Destination’ and ‘Leading Wedding Destination’ in the Indian Ocean at the 28th World Travel Awards 20212, the country presents an all-encompassing location for various categories of travelers, and this is likely to up the demand for inbound tourists arrival during the summer season.

You can access more information on the Form and other travel requirements on the Mauritius Now website. Alternatively, should you still have any queries, feel free to send us an email at info@intercontinentaltrust.com and our Relocation Team will be pleased to assist you.
