Fully vaccinated travellers to Mauritius no longer need to take a pre-arrival Covid-19 test, the UK Foreign Office has confirmed.

Mauritius reopened its borders on 1 October 2021 and has since welcomed more than 500,000 visitors

The change, which was made on Saturday (12 March), means fully jabbed visitors do not need to present a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours before departure.

However, they will still be required to take a Covid test on arrival.

In a statement, the FCDO said: "From 12 March 2022, travellers do not need to present a negative PCR test before flying to Mauritius.

"Health or travel insurance covering Covid-19 related expenses is mandatory. You will be asked to present proof of your health or travel insurance before boarding and on arrival. Covid-19 testing will be required on arrival."
