Mauritius Laws and Regulations have been implemented by the Government of the country for the safety and security of the local people as well as tourists. There are certain rules that have to be followed by the tourists intending to visit Mauritius.
Possessing a valid Passport is a must for any tourist to Mauritius. Generally tourist visas are not required for the country in advance, as visas are issued after arrival. However, work permit and student visas are mandatory. Special permission from the Government has to be attained for an extended stay in the country. Business travelers require a letter of authorization either from any consular office or from a Mauritian diplomat.
Mauritius Laws and Regulations are somewhat strict for Canadians. Apart from a valid passport of minimum six month’s validity, a ticket for round-trip is also to be exhibited by the Canadians for entering the country. The Certificate of Canadian Citizenship does not act as a travel document that would help Canadians in entering Mauritius.
There are strict laws against tampering, theft and alteration of passport in Mauritius. Children can also be taken to Mauritius but with proper evidences of parental custody and rights. Proper legal documents have to be shown if clarifications are demaded by officials in the country.
Laws and regulations regarding health in Mauritius are also strictly followed in the country. Sometimes, yellow fever certificates are demaded from people, who come to Mauritius from areas where yellow fever is common.
Local laws and customs are also implemented on the tourists the moment they step in Mauritius. Serious offences or violation of civil laws may lead to imprisonment. Drug trafficking as well as use of drugs in the country is strictly prohibited. Penalty for such a crime may either be life imprisonment or still worse, death sentence. Tourists visting Mauritius should carry proper prescriptions for the medicines that they are carrying. There are also certain things like fruits, plants and spear-fishing gadgets and equipments that cannot be brought into the country.
