Passport or national ID for Mauritius?

Hi, I’m traveling to Mauritius with my kids from Réunion. My kids only have national ID cards that still show our old address in mainland France. What do we need to show at the airport as proof of residence in Réunion to travel with just an ID card?

Thanks—this is pretty urgent since we leave next week!

Hi,

French nationals must have a valid passport for the entire duration of their stay and a return ticket.

Hi,

There’s an exception for Réunion residents, who can visit Mauritius with just a national ID card under the following conditions: https://mauritiusnow.com/fr/blog/2024/04/22/la-mesure-maurice-sans-passeport-prolongee-une-bonne-nouvelle-pour-les-reunionnais/ The requirements to prove residency are pretty vague, though. If they’re kids, they’re in school, so that’s probably a good way to get proof. The address on the ID card doesn’t matter—there’s no rule saying you have to update it, and nobody does anyway.

My bad! 🙂
