Please I need information on the requirements to travel to Mauritius. I heard they grant Nigerians visa on arrival valid for 14 days. What does that mean? Does it mean I don't need to apply for visa or fill any document before going there?

Note: I'm going there for a 2-day Conference.
Please anyone who has been to Mauritius recently should help out with this info.
Information on flights from Nigeria will also be appreciated.

cc: Oga justwise please don't close this thread. I have searched and read through other threads on Mauritius but I could not find a satisfactory answer to this question and beside, those threads are not recent (and you know that visa procedures change with time)
Any valuable info from you would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have been to Mauritius four times however I did not fly from Nigeria. However, for Nigerian passport holder no need fill any form before you travel, a visa of two weeks will be delivered to you upon arrival regarding you meet certain criteria like;

- Valid return tickets and passport
- Accommodation voucher
- Sufficient fund during your stay etc…

The easiest flight is via emirate from Lagos but may be expensive, one of the cheapest is South African Airline. Emirate has a stop in Dubai while SA airline stops at South Africa. Kenyan Airline also fly but not daily. The cheapest of all is Ethiopian Airline...so try them!

Also, ensure you have your poster presentation handy so when asked kindly show and possibly have the webpage of the conference organizer ready as well.

Thanks a million!
I have one more question concerning having the sufficient funds for my stay there. Do I have to change Naira to Rupees (their currency) before going there?
