This will be valid for travel from the country of origin at the beginning of the studies and back to the country of origin upon successful completion of studies.

For successful candidates who cannot for medical purposes be vaccinated, they will be required to produce duly certified medical certificates.

To enter Mauritius, students must present a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours before departure from their home country. Covid- 19 testing will be required upon arrival.
