Nationals of countries hitherto exempt from a visa for entry into European territory will have to obtain a travel authorization from 2021. This authorization is not a visa, specifies the ambassador of the European Union in Mauritius. Mauritians will therefore not need a visa to enter Schengen territory. The request must be made online against a payment of Rs 280. A light and fast procedure with an almost instant response.
