Guide last updated October 24, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for the duration of the stay, with 6 months' validity recommended for connecting flights
  • Return or onward ticket
  • Proof of accommodation for the full duration of stay
  • Evidence of sufficient funds for the visit
  • Completed arrival/health form if required at the time of travel
  • No visa application, biometrics, or photo required for visa-free entry
  • Travel insurance recommended but not mandatory

Visa types

  • No visa category applies for the standard 90-day visa-free tourist/business stay. Travellers seeking to stay longer (up to a cumulative 180 days per calendar year with extension) must apply at the Passport and Immigration Office in Port Louis before the initial 90 days expire. Longer-term options include the Premium Visa for remote workers and retirees, free to apply for and valid up to one year, and Occupation or Work Permits for employment, each requiring a separate online application through the Economic Development Board.

Entry conditions

  • Hong Kong SAR passport holders may enter and stay in Mauritius visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism or business purposes; cumulative stays can be extended up to 180 days per year via an in-country application. Employment is not permitted on the visa-free entry. On arrival at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, present your passport, return ticket, and proof of accommodation. Extensions are requested in person at the Passport and Immigration Office in Port Louis before the initial period lapses, typically requiring a fee and proof of continued funds and accommodation.

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee applies for visa-free entry. Extensions beyond 90 days (up to 180 days total) typically cost around MUR 1,000-2,000 (roughly USD 20-45) and are processed same-day or within a few working days at the Passport and Immigration Office. The Premium Visa for longer remote stays is free to apply for online and typically approved within 2-5 working days.

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Book accommodation for your full intended stay before arrival, since immigration officers may ask for proof of where you'll be staying
  • If you plan to stay beyond 90 days, apply for the extension at least a week before it expires to avoid any overstay issues
  • The Premium Visa is a good option for Hong Kong digital nomads or retirees wanting a longer, low-cost stay without employment rights
  • Direct flights from Hong Kong are limited; most itineraries connect via Singapore, Dubai, or Doha - factor this into onward ticket requirements
  • Travel insurance is strongly recommended given the cost of private healthcare on the island for visitors
