Internship pay

Hi sunnyvee and welcome on Expat.com,

how long would last your intership?

Hi Julien, Any chances that you will organise a meet up "afterwork" in P Louis soon ?

Take care
Mel

If your internship lasts more than 2*3 months, you'll need an occupation permit -> minimum pay 30,000 rs per month.

You should have a look to the visa Mauritius section in the Mauritius guide.

Mel> yes we should organize an after-work drink, but as my car is broken it's a little bit complicated for me at the moment

Hi Sunnyvee

Local companies usually offer internship to foreign students and/or graduates for periods of up to three months.

To be able to stay in Mauritius with such a VISA, the firm granting the internship needs to:
    Have a letter from the University making a request or confirming that you are/were a student of the University and requires such an internship.
    Sign an agreement with your University, where some general clauses are included.
    Submit to the Passport and Immigration Office and to the Ministry of Labour and Industrial Relations:
o    indicating that the internship will be on NO pay.
o    A copy of the agreement signed with your University, indicating therein that the internship will be on no PAY. 
With such a VISA, you will NOT be able to take a job in Mauritius.

Should you be willing to work in Mauritius in your capacity as a graduate/professional, then the Company offering you the job should indicate in the letter of offer that they are providing you free accommodation and also that your salary will be at least Rs 30,000/-= €800.

You will then enter the country on a Business Visa and start when in Mauritius, procedures towards getting an Occupational Permit and Residence Permit.

Hope the above clears in some way your confusion.

Cheers

Hi sunnyvee, I am in the exact same situation as you were. I am also being offered about 150 euros to do a internship.

Vayid, so it will not be possible at all to get a second job such as a barman or a server on such as visa? The visa you get when doing a internship?

Hi Louisstefanfourie & Sunnyvee

I would not like to disappoint you.

However, in Mauritius, there are no such possibilities as getting a second job whether on internship VISA or not.

The Labour laws and the specificities in Mauritius are quite different from other countries.

Anyway, hope you have a nice stay in Mauritius.

Cheers
