Were you able to have your "entry date" as the date you actually expected to enter Mauritania, or did they insist the visa start that very day?

I heard it was the former, but when I applied in May 2014 they made me change the entry date to that very day (essentially cutting two weeks off a one month visa). In Mauritania I spoke to a German who had no such problem, perhaps mine was an isolated case.

I got mine today and I had the start date pushed out till the end of the month. 6.1.15 today and they let me go a maximum of 29.1.15.
They would not let me have it start in the following month.

We had no difficulties whatsoever getting our visas last thursday in Rabat - they were positively lovely - all was done by 8:20am (even though they don't officially open until 9:00) and they were ready for collection at 3pm.

Someone who (I assume) worked there helped interpret some questions and tell us which ones were not necessary to complete (and did not ask for money in exchange).

We needed a photocopy of our passport (+ the real thing), two passport photos and 340Dh each.

Completely stress-free

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
