AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoUS Visa Hub Overhaul (Africa): The U.S. State Department plans to cut routine visa-processing posts across Africa from nearly 50 to 20 hubs, with implementation expected in June. Mauritius Impact: Port Louis is named one of the remaining hubs, meaning some applicants may still be able to process in Mauritius rather than being redirected elsewhere. What Changes for Travellers: Non-hub countries’ embassies/consulates will stay open mainly for limited services (e.g., U.S. citizens and select cases), while many visa applicants may need to travel to a hub city for interviews and procedures. Ethiopian Airlines Boost (Mauritius): Ethiopian Airlines will launch thrice-weekly direct flights Addis Ababa–Port Louis from July 12 (ET887/ET886), replacing prior indirect routing and targeting peak mid-year tourism demand.
