🇪🇹 Does an Ethiopian need a visa for Mauritius 🇲🇺?

What this means for your trip

A visa on arrival is issued at the port of entry. Expect a fee, a passport photo and sometimes proof of onward travel and accommodation.

Not every airport or land border issues it, and some nationalities are sent to secondary checks; confirm the entry point before you travel.

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.

Some of your plugs fit (C); for type E, F, J, L plugs bring a travel adapter for Mauritius's sockets (C, G). Mains voltage differs (Mauritius: 230 V; Ethiopia: 220 V): most phone and laptop chargers accept 100–240 V, but single-voltage devices such as some hair dryers need a converter.
