Hy. We are a Slovakian couple and we travel towards SA by W coast. We was in Rabbat for one week( to take our Mauritanian Viza but the Embassy was closed so we decidet to have it at the border because the cost of staying in Rabbat was high) We want to take our Mali visa at the border but now we dont know if its still possible. Do you have some recent info about getting Mali Visa at the border? Thanks ...Fero

Get the Mali visa at the embassy in Nouakchott, same day service.
If you are in Rabat, the Mali embassy there is only a few blocks from the Mauri embassy. But they both need your passports, so probably an extra day.

Hi there,
Just returned from the Mauritania embassy in Rabat and it was quite something today. They have just switched to a new biometric system which no one understands yet. We had to wait 6 hours before they let us in, and then more chaos ensued when we were inside. No more copies or passport pictures are needed but you can also no longer fill out the form! This sucks big time for us since they would not let us start our visa on the 5th of April (the day we intend to enter Mauritania), but on the date of application. This might change once they get the hang of the new system but everyone was too stressed out today. Monday we can collect our visas, hopefully everything will be okay.
Oh and they increased the price of the visa to 1450 Dirham.
Cheers,
Tim & Anne

Mauretania visa update
the mauri visa in rabatt cost now 1450dh !! thats about 135 euros!! and will NOT be deliverd at the same day, pick up next day at 2pm they said. in fact they collectet the passport 2.30pm and gave it back 4pm... i just did it 4 days ago... the beginning of the visa is as usual a gamble, there were an american and an aussi, they wanted it 3 months delayd, but issued on the next day...
i dont know about the visa at the border, i keep hearing stories about that beeing denied, and driving back from the border to rabatt really sucks...
its just hilarious.... but i heard that they're thinking about a ferry from dakhla to dakar... we'll see...

oh yeah and for that money you'll get only a 30day single entry visa.... i think 90 days visas are also possible for some more dirhams but not sure if they're multiple entries...

On the border for 125 euro singel entry and watch they only accept bio metric visa. If you don't have one you have to buy a new one.

Thanks for the information. What do you mean by a biometric visa? Do you mean you need to have a biometric passport to get a visa on the spot?

You have to pay in Euro at the border. They will only accept bills that are 100% ok. If the bills have only a small tear or look used, they will not accept them (at least not in Rosso).

Heading north; Mali/Senegal to Mauritania visa.
Today I phoned AND visited the Mauritanian embassy in Dakar. Told that for a year now the embassy does not issue visas. Visas must be acquired on the border. We were told this must happen in Rosso and no where else along the southern Mauritanian border including Mali/Mauritania border.
Before entering Mauritania we aim to head east to Mali then cross to Néma (Mauritania). But the embassy said it is now not possible for tourists to cross from Nara (Mali) to Néma as you can not get Mauritanian visa at the border (or any Mali/Mauritanian crossings), but the Mauritanians do not issues visas at the embassy, only Rosso/Senegal border. This suggests the Nara and Nioro borders are not available for us? Cant be.
Am I taking crazy pills or has anyone managed to figure this out?

Anyone has information about double entry visa getting on Mauri border? Is it existing or not? Can we get it on border? How much does it cost?
