Hi all,
My situation is pretty complex. We arrived in Mauritius on the 13th of January, due to how long we had to wait for our documents in South Africa, our flights arrived before our permits did. My husband was applying for his Mauritian diaspora, I'd contacted EDB and they'd said we could come over on tourist visa and then change over if his application was accepted. Unfortunately it wasn't accepted, but in the interim, we've both been offered jobs here, but we're needing to apply for work permits through Ministry of Labour as it's below 60k rupees. On the Ministry of Labour's website, they don't consider work permits for non citizens on tourist visas. Which is now a problem, our tourist visas expire soon and we don't have the capital to fly back to SA and then fly back as we have to do that twice already this year for family weddings. Is there another visa we can change over to for our work permits to be considered? Or any other advice is appreciated.
