You should read it right to left.. then it makes more sense :-) It was 1 month single entry, 1 month double entry and 1 year double entry.
But the important bit is: those prices date from July 29 and are seemingly no longer correct since August 10 (cannot confirm myself, check the French forum for source)

I confirm that. Today 120 euros at the border. Around 3 hours of papers and 15 euros for the assurance of the bike to ride for 10 days

I got visa at the border They even have fingerprints scanner and all that fancy stuff which is caused trouble for me at the next border - of Mauritania and Senegal - there was no electricity in frontier office and customs was not able to check biometric. It tooks two days to get rid of that greedy pricks without paying any bribes.

It`s always been very expensive on the border, but the sum`s been around 3 times cheaper in Rabat. I just want to make sure that this absurd raise wasn`t a mistake or smth like that as we were planning to go from Morocco to the South via Mauritania in a month but this visa cost is absolutely unacceptible for us so we`ll have to cancel the trip.
So I just need an exact recent practical info)))

Again - in Rabat it is 100 euro. I met two different travellers which confirmed that. No wondering that Mauritanians raised the visa prices - road it is the only thing they have to get money.

You will be surprised but for the same price. The only difference is that you cannot obtain multi-entry visa at the border - embassy only.

I'm wanting to head towards Mauritania on my push bike and would be returning the same way. Does anyone know how much a multiple entry visa costs in Rabat at the moment?
