⚠️ Important Notes
Pakistani passport holders must apply for the Mauritania eVisa well in advance of their travel date. The eVisa is linked to the applicant's passport so any change in passport requires a fresh application. It is strongly recommended to carry a printed copy of the eVisa approval letter when traveling. Mauritania requires visitors to register with local authorities within 48 hours of arrival if not staying at a hotel. Travelers should also be aware of Mauritania's security situation and consult their country's travel advisory before planning the trip.
