Entry details

Holders of a Mauritania passport need a visa obtained in advance when visiting India. The Mauritania passport currently ranks #159 of 199 worldwide, with 53 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.

India is relatively guarded about who it admits, admitting 6 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #146 with 58 open destinations. Access is actually lopsided the other way — India citizens enter Mauritania more easily (visa on arrival).

In the opposite direction, India citizens travelling to Mauritania face: visa on arrival.
