Mauritanian visa at Mauri-Morocco border?
Hi everyone
I've read on the thorntree that you can get a 2-week visa at the Mauri-Moroccan border if you just ask for it.
Can anyone confirm if this is correct?

just a quick update, i crossed into mauritania today from dahkla and at the border was asked how long i planned to stay in the country, i said two weeks and was granted a full visa for two weeks for 20euro, they wouldnt accept dirham. not sure how it all happened but it did, the driver i was with seemed to know every one well, and he and i had been getting on well, so it could have had something to do with it. also the guy made a big thing out of showing every one my passport, usa, and the first page which has a note on it from the sec of state saying to allowing passage un hindered or something to that extent, and that he was doing what it said. so like i said not sure what really was at play but the visa says valid until 07-05-08 which is about 15 days from today. maybe ill end up the fool at the exit but for now all looks okay.

yep , you can get a visa on the border , for up to 2 weeks , if you ask for it. If not , then you are issued the standard 3 days transit visa,

This info dates from before the recent military coup and matches my experience back in January.
The question is whether the same applies SINCE the coup.
