Confirm that getting the visa for Mauritani at the borderisnot a problemat all. 50 euro for 15 days, 4300 local currency for 10days insurance and 10 euro for handling. However the visa at the Mauritania embassy in Rabat cost only 20 euro.

If you want to stay longer you can prolong it at the police offices in Nouadhibou or Nouakchott. Probably also in Rosso, Kiffa or any other major city in the country. This will cost you another €40. But nevertheless its cheaper than for instance in Brussels where you have to pay €93,75 for a one entry visit and have to present a lot of documents. Although my multiple entree came with a one year period in wich I can visit the country up to 180 days.

Thank you very much for this info.
Now we need confirmation from someone who actually crossed the Morocco-Mauritania border after the 5 kms no-man's-land and tell us it is went smoothly or not...

We crossed the Morocco-Mauri border three days ago and got the visa there without problems. Trip report will follow (the negative novelties were at the Mauri-Mali border).
