What you need
- Nepali ordinary passport
- Completed ANRPTS online visa request before travel
- Personal information and documents requested by the official eVisa form

- Biometric capture on arrival at the entry point
- Travel purpose, accommodation, funds and onward/return evidence if requested
Why this verdict
Nepali citizens are encoded as eVisa because Mauritania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs directs travellers to the ANRPTS online visa request, says validated applicants receive an eVisa, and says travellers should carry the eVisa for boarding. No ordinary-passport reciprocal visa-suppression route is encoded for this launched passport. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passports, special travel documents, airline checks, health rules, eVisa approval, biometric capture, border discretion and the live ANRPTS application flow can change the practical answer. Reconfirm with Mauritania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ANRPTS or a Mauritanian mission before booking.
Conditional rules
- Traveller chooses a 30-day eVisa instead of a 90-day eVisa eVisa
Up to 30 days. The Mauritania MFA table lists separate 30-day and 90-day fee bands; the issued eVisa controls the actual stay and fee.
- Traveller needs more than 90 days eVisa
The MFA table includes longer-duration fee bands, but this row uses 90 days as the short-visit planning cap. Apply for the exact duration supported by the live ANRPTS flow.
- Traveller is an Algerian ordinary-passport holder covered by the reciprocal visa-suppression list Visa-free
Algeria is the only launched ordinary passport encoded as visa-free from the checked reciprocal visa-suppression list.
- Trip is work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passport, official duty or another non-tourist short visit Visa required
This row covers ordinary-passport visitor travel only. Use the relevant Mauritanian mission, ANRPTS or residence route for non-tourist, residence or special-document travel.
- Traveller lacks required documents, approved eVisa where required, health evidence, route proof, funds, accommodation or carrier clearance Conditional
Mauritanian authorities, carriers and border officials can require additional evidence and retain final authority.
