Mauri - Mali - Mauri single or multiple entry visa
 

I plan to drive through Mor - Mauri - Mali - Mauri - Mor. I will get a Mauri visa in Rabat, Morocco. Is this usually a single entry visa or if it is still valid, would it cover the return trip through Mauri as well. If not, where is in Mali is the Mauri visa available?

thanks

Reinhard

Hi,

It's easier if you buy a multiple entry visa for Mauritania. You can do that in Rabat. Or, alternatively, get the temporary visa at the Mauritanian border, and then in Nouakchott, at the police station (N 18.0903000 E-15.9709500; coordinates in decimal degrees), ask for a multiple-entry visa.

If you are really interested in getting a single-entry visa for Mauritania, then in Bamako go to the Mauritanian embassy and buy another entry visa. Don't have the coordinates for the embassy, but it is located in a boulevard on the northern bank of the Niger river, on the north-eastern exit of Bamako, along the river bank.

Cheers,
José

Hi Jose,

many thanks. I've sisnce learnt that it might be possible to get a visa for Mauritania in London - which will be easier as I won't have to hang around waiting for it in Morocco. I'll try to get the multiple entry one.

regards

Reinhard

Jose Coordinates correction
it shoud, read WEST as in N 18.0903000 W15.9709500
unless you want to end up in Chad!

Reinhard,the Mauritanian embassy that was at 8 CarlosPlace Mayfair, London has been closed for about a year now

Bertrand - many thanks - looks like it will have to be Rabat after all

You're welcome- Try to get there on a Monday to Thursday latest 10:30am I think to get it for Friday before they close at lunchtime
else you're stuck there until following Monday...

Thanks for the correction Bertrand, although the "-" before the coordinate indicates that it is to the west of Greenwhich. Anyway, its easier to read W15.9709500 instead of E-15.9709500.
