The rest of the trip for a Japanese passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Mauritius entry requirements.
The details for a Japanese passport.
Japan's MOFA overseas-safety page (updated 11 Jul 2025, read 11 Oct 2026): no visa for short stays without income (tourism, business, visiting friends or relatives); the period granted is at the immigration officer's discretion, within 6 months per year for tourism and 120 days per year for business. No per-entry figure is published. Passport must be valid for the whole stay. 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.
