How Do We Rank It?

passportreports.com's AI-supported ranking model ranks passports by mobility score, a metric that combines visa-free entry, visa on arrival, and electronic travel authorization access. When scores are tied, it first compares the number of visa-free destinations, then destinations accessible with electronic travel authorization, and finally visa-on-arrival destinations.

About Mauritius

Mauritius is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. It belongs to the Mascarene Islands, sharing this group with Réunion and Rodrigues. The island features a central plateau surrounded by mountain ranges and coastal plains. Its tropical climate and diverse landscapes define its regional character.

Daily life in Mauritius blends African, Indian, Chinese and European influences. The capital Port Louis bustles with markets and colonial architecture. Outside the cities, sugarcane fields and volcanic peaks shape the scenery. Local culture is expressed through Sega music, multi-faith festivals and a relaxed pace of life.

Mauritius maintains stable diplomatic ties across Africa and Asia. It is a member of the African Union and the Southern African Development Community. The country positions itself as a bridge between continents, with a strong focus on ocean economy and sustainability. Its neutral foreign policy helps it play a moderating role in regional affairs.
