Hi,
Just seen your post and I’m hoping you still use this!
I’m looking to move to Mauritius too from London... also similar situation I’ve lived in London all my life but hold dual nationality (British/Mauritian).

I would like to bring my car over but unsure if I can as a returning resident?? Apparently if you can’t bring a car that’s more then 5 years old... UNLESS you are a returning resident.
However technically I’m not a returning resident because I’ve lived in London my whole life...

Any advice on this would be really appreciated... looking to move in November lasted first week of December..

Thanks!
