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.
