How to proceed to get Mauritian pension as expat?

@uwag

Hello and welcome !

Yes, you need to apply for Mauritius citizenship first to be eligible for local pension scheme.

You have to be Mauritian to get all the benefits of retirement. Apply as soon as possible, there are lots of documentations to go through.

Dear Bhavna,

many thanks for your quick reply.

Will start to prepare all documents requested and hopefully will be accepted to receive Mauritian Citizenship.

kind regards,  uwag

@uwag

It will be easier to obtain since you are married to a Mauritian citizen,

Feel free to keep us posted and to ask any questions you might have.

All the best

Were you married in Mauritius, or abroad? It might be easier if your marriage certificate is Mauritian.

We were married in Mauritius

Before you apply for the Mauritian citizenship, I would recommend that you wait until the new "Staatsbürgerschaftsgesetzt" in Germany is valid (maybe in Aril 2024), as otherwise you will loose your German citizenship. Or you will have to apply for the "Beibehaltungsgenehmigung" first, which also takes time and costs.

@mewa does Germany not allow dual citizenship?

No, Germany doesn't allow dual citizenship in general, but as I said it will change soon with the new law that will come in force soon, maybe in April 2024.

If you cannot wait you need to apply for the 'Beibehaltungsgenehmigung'. With that you can have the German and the Mauritian Nationality.
