Aevamo’s reading
Regulation 25 of the Passports Regulations 1969, made under the Passports Act, creates the obligation itself: any person not specified in the Eighth Schedule must obtain a visa prior to entering Mauritius, and the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Schedules set the visa-on-arrival and prior-visa categories. The PIO pages describe and administer that regime but do not create it.
Regulation 25(1)(a) requires any person other than one specified in the Eighth Schedule to obtain a visa prior to entering Mauritius for business, tourism or transit; none of these issuers appears in the Eighth Schedule or the Ninth/Tenth visa-on-arrival Schedules, so the prior-visa requirement applies to them.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
