The rest of the trip for a German passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Mauritius entry requirements.
The details for a German passport.
Visa-exempt: the PIO lists holders of passports issued by EU countries as not requiring a visa, and the EU-Mauritius short-stay visa waiver agreement allows EU citizens a maximum of three months during a six-month period from first entry (not for paid activity). Both read 11 Oct 2026. Must show return/onward ticket, confirmed accommodation (or sponsor) and adequate funds; complete the All-in-One Travel Digital Form before arrival. Extensions free at the PIO in Port Louis.
How long it must be valid.
Mauritian rule: passport valid beyond the intended period of stay (PIO); US State Dept: valid for the entire stay. Canada, Singapore and Ireland advise at least 6 months beyond departure, and airlines may enforce that, so 6 months is the safe standard.
