Prior to departure, please ensure you are aware of all the entry and travel requirements for minors, children and infants to your destination.

For travel to countries where a passport is required, all Mauritians, including children, must carry their own passport. Mauritius does not allow children to travel on their parent's passport.

Some countries require one or more of the following documents when travelling with a child:

• The child’s birth certificate showing the names of both parents.

• Any legal documents (e.g. court order or letter of special circumstances) pertaining to custody.

• A parental consent letter or affidavit authorising travel (if the child is travelling with one parent, the letter must be signed and dated by the other parent; if the child is travelling without his parents, the letter must be signed and dated by both parents.)

• A death certificate if one of the parents is deceased.

Please check with the competent authorities of the destination you intend to visit before leaving on your trip.

Passengers aged 12 to 15 years travelling in Economy class from a UK airport are eligible for a refund of the UK Air Passenger Duty (APD - GB tax).
