Setting up Bar/Restaurant in Mauritius? by Mikki
Those living at Mauritius, any hints and tips about the subject? I would like to know is there some special issues, and if this is good or bad idea? I'm long-time professional in bar management industry, looking to relocate due health issues.

DON'T buy from C** 'n' C***. My son went there to purchase an HP laptop, 2.0ghz i3 processor (with Windows 10) yesterday. He saw this model and asked for it. They said it was the only one left. He then tested the laptop and it crashed 3 ...
I heard all the other "C*** and C****" stores are all the same (admin: Note I have not mentioned the full name). They have branches everywhere. In Port Louis, Curepipe, Quatre Bornes, Bagatelle, La Croisette and more places. The store this ... Read More

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

Does anyone have any good contacts for window tinting. I need to get a large office window tinted in Port Louis, and would prefer a tint rather than blinds. I want something that reflects the heat but not necessarily all of the light. Thanks for ...

married in mauritius where can I divorce? by ascruts
Can anyone help/advise me as to what to do? My husband and I are both British. We married in Mauritius. Live in UAE. Do we need to divorce in Mauruitius or can we divorce in UK or UAE? Thank you in advance.
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

I was born in England, my son born in Mauritius and my (ex)wife born in Mauritius. My son has both Mauritian and British Passport. I too have both. Read More
It turns out that Citizenship not even an option! by SirRichBranson
Hello, My wife and I have been reading the forum for last few days but we seem to have discovered what for us would be a show-stopper in ever immigrating across to Mauritius. I am a senior ICT professional though even that wont help if we've ...

Commuting info needed..... can anyone help? by Islander17
I'm moving to Mauritius in January with my job and I'm going to be working in Port Louis at Le Caudon. I'm busy looking for somewhere to live and even though the actual distance from the North or the West is about the same, I am trying to establish ...
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
