Citizen of Mauritius can currently visit the 27 countries of the European Union (U.K and R.O.I included) without a visa. But now they will have to spend 60 Euros for the visa fee, send their passport from Mauritius to Dublin (100 Euros of DHL/FedEx/UPS) and wait up to 2 months to get their precious C-visa for a visit to the paradise island. Guess what ? They are not going to apply for the visa and visit the rest of Europe instead, there is plenty to see…and 160 euros to save. I guess the Republic don’t need tourists now.. A written question will be asked at the Oireachtas in the coming week. If you want to give your opinion on this new visa requirement, you can vote on the poll on ecvisawaiver.wordpress.com .
