Hello. Not sure if they do this here but back in the states we can lease cars long term. I am looking to do something similar for a period of 1-2 yrs. Does anyone know of any companies or car dealerships that do this? Thanks.

Occupation Permits - Things have now changed, watch out! by Stormtrooper

Hi, To all of you with occupation permits coming up for approval, you will find the link below most interesting.... relocationmauritius.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html Incidentally my permit was up for renewal too and I'm experiencing the ...

I do not believe you can take up a grievance on the matter. The PMO office is 'God' on this land. If they don't want to renew it, then that's it. Not that I've tried this but, If I ever were to be in such a situation, I would try my luck with the ... Read More

DR

You can get divorce in UK for what I know. However your divorce will not be recognised only in Mauritius itself, unless you do something called an "Executory". This involves making an appearance in the Supreme Court in Mauritius saying you have ... Read More

Just be careful of Nutcases.... just apply the same 'rules of engagement' as you would apply anywhere in the world. Don't let your guard down simply because you're here. Send some messages to expat ladies on this site and they'll have a good list of ... Read More

Which area to live in for a single, british female? by LaylsUK

Hi all, Firstly, thank you to all of you that have posted re cost of living etc. I have been looking at various property sites and I'm rather confused as the price for a house in one area can be significantly higher than with a very similar house ...

If you have a car, I think you can pretty much live anywhere you want (generally speaking). Remember, Mauritius is only 40 Miles X 30 Miles.. ie.it's more or less the size of London. As a single female what you SHOULD look out for is the type of ... Read More
