How to get a Mauritius visa from Madagascar

To import a dog or cat to Mauritius where your pet has resided for a minimum of 6 months, you must have proof an Import Permit, proof of rabies vaccination and a veterinary certificate.

Mauritius is a rather unique island with lagoons protected by the reefs which prevent sharks from having access to the beaches. Fortunately, a shark attack has never happened on the island.

Credit cards are widely accepted in Mauritius: Visa, MasterCard, Diners and American Express. Check with your bank if they charge a fee to process cash withdrawals from ATM overseas. Bank debit cards and credit cards will require your pin number.

In Mauritius, you have plenty of room for safe swimming in lagoons. Swimming far away from the beach is not recommended and not necessary. Like elsewhere, there are currents in Mauritius. The vast Indian Ocean awaits you beyond the reefs of Mauritius where the depth is ideal for scuba diving but not for swimming.
