Getting there
Direct connectivity from India
Mauritius is one of the easiest long-haul beach destinations to sell out of India: direct flights, visa on arrival, no vaccination requirements, and an airport that is genuinely pleasant to arrive into.
| Carrier | Route | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air Mauritius | Mumbai (BOM) | 3–4× weekly | Approx. 6 hours |
| Delhi (DEL) | 1× weekly | Approx. 7 h 45 m | |
| Chennai (MAA) | Scheduled | MK 746 / MK 747 · A330 or A350 | |
| Air India | Mumbai (BOM) | Up to daily | Frequency has been increasing |
| IndiGo | Bengaluru (BLR) | Daily | Budget fares with add-ons |
Schedules move. Always re-check frequency and aircraft at the time of quoting rather than quoting from memory.
Entry requirements
On arrival, free of charge
Indian passport holders receive a visa on arrival at no cost. There is no pre-application and no fee to build into the costing.
Five mandatory documents
- Passport valid 6+ months from entry, with at least two blank pages
- Confirmed return or onward ticket
- Proof of accommodation — the hotel vouchers you issue
- Sufficient funds — approximately USD 50 per person per day
- The All-in-One Travel Digital Form, within 72 hours before departure
The all-in-one digital form goes out roughly 72 hours before travel. Tell the guest to complete it before boarding — not at immigration. It is the most common avoidable delay on arrival.
The airport
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport (MRU) sits in the south-east of the island. Modern, small, easy. Currency exchange counters, SIM kiosks and transport are all available on arrival.
Change money at the airport counter. Unlike most countries, Mauritius applies no taxes or service charges on airport exchange — it is the best rate on the island, not the worst.
