A visa happens to be an official acknowledgement granted by means of the Immigration Consular of Mauritius, indicating that your particular application to enter into Mauritius was evaluated by an Immigration Officer and that also the officer has established you are eligible to enter or transit in Mauritius for a exact purpose.
A visa, consequently, purely enables the bearer to journey to Mauritius up a port of entry and doesn't unconditionally guarantee right of entrance into Mauritius. The ultimate decision to accept a non-citizen sits with the Immigration Officer after evaluation at the point of entrance in Mauritius. He or she determines the length of time the individual can visit for almost any specific visit.
