Do Kiribati citizens need a visa for Mauritania?

Based on GoMate's data verified against official and consular sources, the short-stay rule for an ordinary Kiribati passport entering Mauritania is "eVisa required", for stays of up to 30 days (eVisa, 90-day validity). This covers short visits for tourism, business, or transit. Entry requirements can change, so always confirm with the Mauritania embassy before traveling.

Under current regulations, Kiribati passport holders may stay in Mauritania for up to 30 days (eVisa, 90-day validity) per entry on a short-stay basis (tourism, business, or transit). Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so plan to leave within the permitted period.

Kiribati passport holders must apply for an eVisa online before traveling to Mauritania. Complete the application, upload the required documents, pay the fee, and wait for approval before departure. Be ready to provide: eVisa via anrpts.gov.mr — USD 60, 7-14 day processing.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Additional requirements: eVisa via anrpts.gov.mr — USD 60, 7-14 day processing. Carry proof of onward travel and sufficient funds, as these may be checked at the border.

No. Short-stay entry to Mauritania is intended for tourism, business meetings, and transit — it does not permit paid employment. To work in Mauritania, Kiribati citizens need a separate work visa or permit arranged in advance.

The 30 days (eVisa, 90-day validity) short-stay limit is generally firm. Extensions are sometimes possible by applying to the Mauritania immigration authorities before your permitted stay ends. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so do not rely on it.
