Coming to Mauritius in a month with the intention of staying... by JeremyPaulCarroll

If you come in on a tourist visa you will have to leave Mauritius in order to get your business visa on arrival. This can be done by taking a day trip to the nearby island of Reunion. Check the airfares to see whether this would be an option for ... Read More

Hello We are looking to hear about positive/negative issues with any of the following schools IPS, Lighthouse, Alexandra House, Clavis, Dukesbridge or Telfair. Many thanks :)

Expat Salaries by LeRouxExpats
Can the local Mauritius companies offer similar salaries as the South African companies.The Mau salary guide says It manager earn 60 000 Mau. In SA you can earn 180 000 Mau and living costs are lower.
Hi External In this instance the basic salary is in usd and will therefore be paid into a foreign currency account. Usually these are held offshore / in another jurisdiction. Local salary will be in NGN and will be paid into a local bank account. ... Read More

Hello myself Dentist from india. I was offered a job of dentist in Mauritius through a consultancy service of India. Then i talked / interviewed by the employer of Mauritius. They asked me to send my documents attested by indian MEA, alongwith ...
Just to add to External’s very valid comments. I think there has to be a signed offer of employment in place before an occupational visa (assuming that is the visa your potential “employer” was going for) can be issued. It was ... Read More

I’m currently researching whether there is a need for a specialized mom and baby store in Mauritius. Specifically offering top quality breast pumps and support to Mother’s. Ideally pre birth classes would be offered as well as post ...
In respect of your question regarding shops, the answer is no. We already have two good stores - Meem and Orchestra. However, neither provide support services such as what you mentioned. Do shops even provide this sort of thing in other countries? ... Read More

Hi all I have few questions re work permit as follows: 1. How long does it take to know that the work permit application is denied in Mauritius? 2. Can i send a n email to labour department to inquire on the status? especially if it has already ...
I don’t have any experience of the work permit but when we were doing my occupational permit I was phoning every day to get a status ( I was bored at home ). I would suggest that a gentle enquiry can’t do any harm. Kind ... Read More

Hi. I have not had any problems conversing with Mauritians. I always speak in English simply because my ability to speak French is so embarrassingly awful. As I said in my original post you might need to supplement with a little sign language if you ... Read More

Hi Coolinny I unfortunately don’t speak much French and no Creole. Despite this I have never had a problem conversing with people in Mauritius. Yes in some of the villages you may have to use a bit of sign language but on the whole I have ... Read More

Hi Emma If you are not married you will need an occupation permit. I don’t think a work permit would be suitable / relevant. Once you are married you will have the right to live and work here freely. The employer will have a bit of admin work ... Read More
