Color scan of the passport bio-data page, valid for at least 6 months beyond intended entry, uploaded to the e‑Visa portal.
ANRPTS e‑Visa portal explicitly requires a color scanned copy of the passport page with clear, legible details and no cropping or blur. Multiple official and semi‑official sources state that the passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended entry date.
Recent color passport-style photograph meeting ANRPTS biometric specifications, uploaded digitally.
ANRPTS portal provides detailed digital photo rules including exact pixel dimensions, color, background, and biometric framing requirements.
Printed copy of the approved e‑Visa with QR code to present at airline check‑in and on arrival in Mauritania.
Official and semi‑official guidance indicates that the e‑Visa approval with QR code is sent by email and must be printed and carried for boarding and entry. Biometric capture and fee payment are completed on arrival after presenting the printed approval.
Recommended
Supporting document for travel purpose (invitation letter, certificate, hotel booking, event registration, or other relevant proof) uploaded to the e‑Visa portal.
ANRPTS portal asks applicants to upload at least one supporting document such as an invitation letter, certificate, or other relevant document; for tourists, a hotel booking or tour confirmation is typically used. Unofficial agency sites sometimes list additional items (bank statements, onward tickets, insurance), but the official e‑Visa FAQ explicitly states that health insurance, bank statements, and flight bookings are not required to apply.
Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
For a truly unique experience, ask locally about riding the iron ore train across the desert (Nouadhibou–Zouérat route). It’s legendary—bring goggles/scarf, warm layers, and plenty of water.
2
Assume cash-first outside the main cities: carry a mix of smaller notes so you’re not stuck unable to pay for basic transport or food.
3
Bring a power bank and headlamp: even when everything is ‘fine,’ practical backups make travel days smoother in remote desert towns.
