    FAQ

    Can I get a visa on arrival or from an embassy?
    No. Since 5 January 2025 travelers needing a visa must obtain the electronic authorization online before boarding; the Brussels embassy states it no longer issues visas.

    How long can I stay on this package?
    The portal package is 30 days. The Foreign Ministry table prices a 30-day stay at €40/$45 for the Arab world and Africa and €55/$60 for the rest of the world.

    Does this visa allow work in Mauritania?
    No. Paid work requires a work authorization and a residence card (carte de séjour). Use this eVisa only for short visits; apply for the residence card after entry if you will work.
