Hi Everyone
Need a little help on a few concerns about this new offer in Mauritius.
Please advise if USD 2000 + travel and lodging allowance is sufficient to survive there?
What are the new laws in work permits for a Marketing professional?
How are the basic living expenses there? Is there something like house deposits.
How much would it be for a family accommodation? Do employers provide these generally?
Which are the most lively and family places to stay if one is working in Balcalava?

Thank you stumpy and priscilla for the insights and the links.
