A typical file may include an application form, photographs, proof of accommodation, proof of financial resources, and insurance documents. Confirm the exact document requirements, presentation rules, and any applicable fees with the competent embassy or on the official page: mfa.gov.tr

First, contact the embassy or consulate competent for Mauritania to confirm appointment and submission arrangements. Then prepare the requested file and submit it through the embassy, consulate, or designated application centre, following the instructions issued by the competent authority.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Mauritania, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Mauritania but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing times vary, so submit the application sufficiently in advance while following the instructions from the embassy or application centre. It is prudent not to purchase non-refundable tickets before the visa has been granted, as the decision and timing remain with the competent authorities.

Do not submit an incomplete file or assume that the same documents and procedures apply to every application from Mauritania. Check the latest instructions with the competent embassy and on the official information page before the appointment and again before departure.
