Business visit visa / Work visa

Business visitors can obtain a Business Visa, valid for 30 days, 90 days or 360 days and more, for single or multiple entry visas. But in practice, only a 30 days visa, for single entry is now issued.

Foreign nationals intending to work in Mauritania for over 60 days must obtain a Work Permit, the validity of which depends on the contract length, but generally the A license is valid for two years and the B license is valid for four years. However, in current practice, only a six months license is issued.
