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 official Foreign Ministry visa page publishes Mauritania visa information, fee bands by duration and a link to the ANRPTS e-visa request form. The ANRPTS form includes tourism as a travel reason, so tourist visitors should use the official e-visa route unless their nationality is listed as visa-exempt on the ministry page.

Typical evidence

Application pathway

  1. Check the route fit

    Read the Foreign Ministry visa page and check whether the nationality is exempt.

  2. Build the evidence pack

    Open the ANRPTS e-visa request form and select the tourism travel reason.

  3. Submit through the official channel

    Prepare passport, travel and stay evidence before submitting.

  4. After approval

    Travel with the approval and stay within the authorised duration and purpose.

After approval: prepare for your next step

For Tourism e-Visa, use the actual decision and the issuing authority’s instructions to establish what has been granted. A successful application, permission to enter, permission to work and a residence document are not interchangeable.

  1. 1. Check the decision. Confirm the name, passport, status granted, start date and any next action. Resolve an error with the authority before relying on the document for travel or employment.
  2. 2. Establish the travel step. Read any entry window, activation, collection or in-country registration instruction. For an extension or change of status, do not assume leaving the country is required or safe while a further step remains pending.
  3. 3. Confirm what you may do. Check whether employment, self-employment, remote work or study is permitted under the status granted. Do not infer unrestricted work rights from the absence of an employer sponsor.
  4. 4. Organise the household. Check each accompanying person’s permission separately, then arrange healthcare, accommodation, access to money and the relevant local registrations. A tax number or bank account does not by itself prove a right to work.
  5. 5. Keep the ongoing conditions visible. Record the actual expiry, renewal process, permitted absences and any duty to report changes. An initial grant does not automatically establish permanent residence or citizenship.
