I have a small business mostly online in london.I want to move to mauritius soon and continue working from there for a year or 2.

can i just work on the business visa and keep extending it.?
Or If I need visa for self employed people is it true it costs 35000 dollars to invest in a business there?. As my business dfinately doesn't need that.Will be able to own all of it?

tanya.

Business visas are for 90 days / year and tourist visas for 180 days / year (not sure if you can combine both).

So you need an occupation permit, a dependent permit or a work permit to stay here for 2 years.

About the $35000, they need to be transfered to Mauritius to be able to obtain a self-employed occupation permit, but you don't necessarily need to invest it like you would in the industry: you can for instance pay your rental deposits with it, or buy a car, etc.
