Gambia → Mauritania: Short-stay tourist

Whether you need a visa at all, according to official sources.

Checked by our automated verification on 20 Oct 2026: every source on this page resolves and the data is structurally complete. This does not confirm a person re-read the source text for accuracy.

You likely don't need a visa

You don't need a visa to visit Mauritania as a tourist. Mauritania's national population-registry and secure-titles agency (ANRPTS) lists your country among those whose nationals are exempt from entry visas under mutual agreements, without publishing a stay length for it, confirm your permitted stay on arrival rather than assuming a figure. The agency's visitor page also says a passport with less than 6 months of validity can't get an entry visa without the authorities' prior permission (its English version says such holders may not enter), so check your passport's validity before you travel.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
