Turkey visa for Mauritian passport holders

Yes, and there are two routes depending on how long you are staying. The Turkish foreign ministry requires Mauritian ordinary passport holders to hold a visa: a one-month, multiple-entry e-Visa from evisa.gov.tr, or a three-month, multiple-entry sticker visa from a Turkish mission. Türkiye is not visa-free for a Mauritian passport, and the e-Visa’s one-month span is the detail that decides which route you need.

Entry requirements

A Mauritian passport, and a Türkiye visa arranged before departure. The Turkish foreign ministry states ordinary Mauritian passport holders are required to have a visa.
A choice of route: a one-month multiple-entry e-Visa from evisa.gov.tr for a short trip, or a three-month multiple-entry sticker visa from a Turkish diplomatic mission for a longer or repeated one.
A stay within the 90-days-in-180 ceiling the ministry applies to every foreigner, whichever route issued the visa.

Two visa routes, chosen by the length of the trip

The Turkish foreign ministry’s entry for Mauritius states that ordinary passport holders are required to have a visa, and gives two ways to get one: a one-month, multiple-entry e-Visa via evisa.gov.tr, or a three-month period, multiple-entry visa from Turkish diplomatic representations abroad. Official passport holders are separately exempt for up to 90 days.

The one-month e-Visa is the fast route, and it is enough for a normal holiday. Its one-month validity is shorter than the three-month e-Visa most other nationalities on this system receive, so a Mauritian planning a longer window, or several trips across a season, is the traveller who should look past the online option.

For that longer window the sticker visa from a Turkish mission is the route the ministry names, valid three months with multiple entries. Either way the actual stay is capped by the general rule of 90 days within each 180-day period, so the three-month sticker buys a longer entry window and more flexibility, not a longer permitted stay.

Good to know

The one-month e-Visa is the catch specific to a Mauritian passport. Most nationalities using evisa.gov.tr get a three-month authorisation, but the ministry gives Mauritius a one-month one, so an e-Visa bought comfortably ahead of a trip can lapse before departure if the dates slip. Buy it close to travel, and if the plan is a long stay or several visits, take the mission route from the start rather than discovering the one-month limit late.
When the online route is too short, the Turkish mission is the ministry’s own answer, not a workaround. The same entry that names the e-Visa names a three-month, multiple-entry visa issued by Turkish diplomatic representations abroad, so a Mauritian who needs a longer entry window applies to a mission rather than trying to stretch the e-Visa. Build in the mission’s appointment and processing time, which the online route does not need.
Ordinary and official Mauritian passports are on different rules. The ministry exempts official passport holders for up to 90 days while requiring ordinary holders to obtain a visa, so a diplomatic or service passport is not the benchmark for a tourist’s trip. If you travel on an ordinary passport, one of the two visa routes applies to you.
Whichever route you use, the 90-days-in-180 ceiling is the real limit on time in the country. Neither the one-month e-Visa nor the three-month sticker lets you stay beyond that rolling cap, which binds every foreigner. Read the validity of the visa as how long the document lasts and how often you may enter, and the 90-day ceiling as how long you may actually remain.
