Mauretanian visa in Casa
 
I haven't followed the Atlantic route topics for 2 years so forgive me if U find my questions a bit outdated although I tried to browse the forum beforehand. Last I remember it was Impossible to obtain Mauri visa neither in Paris, Madrid, nor Rabat without return air ticket & we were made to stay in Morocco. Is it so easy to get it nowadays in Casa? what are the formailities & costs? I'm a polish passaport holder, does it make any difference to the Mauris? I'll be travelling after the 1th of May so actually with a a EU pass.
Is my dream of hitching from Tidjikja to Oualata via tichit feasible in mid May?any tourist there @ that time (everelse?)

It was very easy to get Mauri visas in Casa. Show up at 9am and pick up at noon. No forwarding ticket required.

good luck

I had to go through the process at Casablanca twice, it was 10 Euros/100 Dirhams before Christmas, then went up to 20 Euros/200 Dirams. No interview, just fill out a form, two photos, photocopies of the information pages of your passport (theres a photocopy booth down the road), and wait. One possible problem is that they dont give you more than a month from the date of issue. Since we where cycling down we did have to chat with the consul to give us more time than that.
