Medical Visa

The Medical Visa for Mauritius is designed for foreign nationals who need to travel to the country specifically to receive medical treatment. This visa is granted on arrival, provided the treatment is to be administered at a private healthcare institution that is duly registered with the Ministry of Health and Quality of Life under the Private Health Institutions Act. It is a practical solution for individuals seeking specialized care in Mauritius, offering a streamlined entry process that allows patients to focus on their health and recovery without the burden of complex pre-travel visa applications.

This visa is valid for the duration of the required medical treatment, though it cannot exceed a maximum stay of six months. While there are no specific visa fees associated with this category, applicants must meet standard immigration requirements, including holding a valid passport and providing evidence of onward or return travel. Furthermore, it is mandatory for applicants to possess valid health insurance to cover their stay, ensuring they have adequate financial protection for any medical needs that may arise during their time in the country.
