My name is Anthonia Austine, my husband is currently living in Mauritius, but planning to move to reunion island, what are the requirements needed for him to move over?
You will need to do more research, but as a US citizen and depsite the Belgium residency permit, I suspect that she may need to get a specific student visa for her time in Reunion (due to Reunion not being part of the Schengen area). Read More

Unfortunately since Brexit, and bearing in mind that Reunion is not part of the Schengen area, you are now limited to (I think) a stay of only 3 months after arrival.Since Brexit British passports are now stamped with entry (and exit) dates. Read More
