Rules in force · 6Avoid driving into or out of Port Louis at 07
  • Mauritius ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on the official Mauritius government sites; many nationalities get a visitor stay on arrival, but confirm before you fly.
  • Mauritius ↗Check with a travel clinic whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you are arriving from or through a country with yellow fever risk.
  • Mauritius ↗Drones need permission from the authorities; do not fly one without it.
  • Port Louis and the centre ↗Cross-island drives take longer than the map suggests: avoid Port Louis at 07:00–09:30 and 16:00–18:30.
  • Port Louis ↗Avoid driving into or out of Port Louis at 07:00–09:30 and 16:00–18:30: traffic on the motorway and city streets stops; add an hour to any transfer.
  • Port Louis ↗Sunday is quiet: many shops and stalls close or shorten their hours, so plan visits Monday to Saturday and check hours locally.
