Hi from a newbie, considering moving to Mauritus

Hi Becksome

It's always a pleasure to hear that people from far horizons considering to move to Mauritius, and especially when this decision is spontaneous.

Depending on what your objectives and resources are, and also your profile the advice would be different.

I presume you would not to express yourself openly on the forum, especially if you are not so clear yourself.

Still, you will get many people in the expatblog community who would be keen to guide you and ... make your dreams become true.

Cheers;)

Hi Vayid

firstly I would like to say thank you for your reply, and yes it is spontaneous. I am sorry for my profile i will go back and re edit it in due cause, it was just something quick that i wrote and I do appreciate your concerns. I have not been on one of these forums before, so with it all being so new to me I really didn't know what to put, and being in England all my life, never thinking i would consider leaving it, only for a holiday.

Being a little naive about these sites I was not sure what to ask, I suppose I was expecting some one to get the ball rolling so to speak and head me in my first considerations. Example - do I need much money behind me? I will have somewhere to live, but does that person need to nominate me, how easy is it to get a work permit, am I too old for one.......the list goes on....this is why I am unsure myself, as I said, its just happened this week and I really don't know where to start!

thanks Mandy

Hi Becksome,
Welcome to Expat.com!

First things first, you should read the Guide of life in Mauritius (and more particularly the page on visas) as well as the latest discussions on residence permits, work permits and occupational permits. This will give you an idea of what is required to reside in Mauritius.

You will then be able to narrow down your questions and come back here to receive answers.

Hope this helps!
Cheers

Hi Mandy

Surely Terrence would be of precious help in getting you good rates for the hotel during your stay here.

Just be informed that hotels are pretty booked during the December/January period, and as such an early booking would be advisable.

Just keep in touch for additional information.

Cheers
