cant speak for the rumour but i crossed 10 days ago from Morocco
120 euros, single entry ony.
Insurance 15 euros
TIP 10 euros (couldnt be bothered to fight over what i thought was 8 euros)
I used Cheik as a fixer, paid him 10 euros. made life easier, and quicker as he just butted me in at the front of each line
Negotiations went like this,
Me: How much
Cheik: 150 euros!
Me: I'll give you 10 euros
Cheik: Ok
If you use him, just be firm with what you want. I told him the price i was going to pay, i had it written down as above on paper so there was no confusion. Paid him, changed some money at a fair rate (close to XE), thought that took some work and holding out.

Visa at the border?
Hey guys,
can anyone confirm that the visa for Mauritania can be obtained directly at the Morocco/Mauritania border and that t now costs 40 euro? I have read in one of the previous msgs in this thread a confirmation of the price, but still wonder if it applies also for the visa acquired directly at the border.
Thanx

I can confirm that the visa can be obtained at the border. Only a valid passport is needed (i.e. no photos, etc.). We did pay 120 Euros in November 2016 (Euro currency). Cannot say anything about the price today.
Good luck!

Disappointing, but.. well.. Mauritania.
Someone should inquire with the president who vowed to lower the fee -- and the officials at the border who told us it was happening Jan 1...and the news sites who all reported it, such as:
Mauritanie: Aziz baisse le prix du visa pour relancer le tourisme - Le360afrique.com
Part of me wonders if the border officials are just taking advantage, and are playing hardball to pocket a bonus 80 EUR. It's not like anyone is cracking down on their nonsense.

Visas have in passports. 55 EUR (1 x 1 month) + 5 hours of waiting in line at the office. mary
Details border crossing describe myself quietly on his blog. Even after his return to Europe, because we have to go back along the same route.
I do not know if the officials want to cash in on those 120 EUR?
I do not know why the President announced a 40 and a 55 EUR? But after 4 days of waiting at the border and broadcast transmission of emails with questions "why", even to the Information Office of the Government of Mauritania, 130 EUR left us to travel further. : Mchappy:

Mauritania
More clarification desired...and sorry for that...
So...the new price of visa at the border is now *55 eur* and not 40 as was annouced/rumoured? And what is the advice on paying 10 eur to the fixer...s it worth it or it is easy enough to just do it on your own? I am travelling by autostop/by public transport.
Thanx!!!

Hi
I have an easy question for you. I am planning my first trip to Senegal and reading this topic, a doubt come to me. Can you pay the visa in euros? Or you have to pay it in local currency?
Thanks!!
