1 major airport. Tap any to see its nearest cities and how far they are.

Passport strength in Mauritius
Mauritius's passport ranks #29 worldwide — 136 destinations visa-free.
This is the passport you’d gain by naturalizing here — a long-horizon payoff measured in years of residency, not a signal for the move itself.
- Mobility
- #29136 destinations
- GDP reach
- #6453.8% of world GDP
- Heritage
- #53908 of 1,353 UNESCO sites
Good to know — a mobility rank counts how many destinations you can enter, not how useful they are; a strong passport can still gate the one place you care about. Learn how we measure this →
