Overview
Mauritania coverage is lite because the official Foreign Ministry and ANRPTS sources support e-visa filing, purposes, durations and fees, but public work and residence checklists are not exposed as stable route-level pages in this source packet. Applicants should use the official e-visa and ministry sources, then confirm any employment, residence or long-stay compliance requirement with the Mauritanian authority, host or employer before travelling or starting activity. The ANRPTS e-visa form exposes business, official, institution and organization travel reasons, while the Foreign Ministry page publishes the e-visa fee and duration framework. Business visitors should separate meetings and short institutional travel from local employment or residence, which needs separate authority confirmation.
