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 Foreign Ministry page publishes e-visa duration and fee bands beyond short 30-day and 90-day visits. This page is intentionally framed as a longer-validity e-visa check, not residence status, because the public source packet does not prove a standalone residence pathway through the e-visa form.
