I don't know  what type of visa your husband is holding for his stay but if you want to stay longer he will have to declare you as his dependents so that your visa is changed from the tourist one.

Hi Ex!
I was only stamped for 2 months on a tourist visa in August, I don't know  why they did not stamp us for three months? Sure would have helped. My husband is going to apply for a self employed visa, which we will fall under the spouse and child.
I do understand these rules and went to this exact website, one question though, would our estate agent be able to write a letter stating the fact we have signed a one year lease? or do we need a letter from the Mauritian who's house we have leased?
Thanks for your help..

1. what is (was) the date on your return ticket when you first landed in Mauritius?
2. Under what type of visa is your husband in Mauritius?

It all depends on what you said to the immigration chap when you first landed at the airport?

In addition to the various documents referred to above DO NOT FORGET that they wil want two passport phots. It appears that it is solely at the discretion of the immigration officer on duty when you are arrive at the airport whether he/she stamps for two or three months-no hard and fast rules apply which is pretty general with most things here!!!!
