Moving to Mauritius....

Hi and welcome on board piginawig!

Are you applying for an occupation permit?
The remaining tests can be done in your home country but they must be certified by a local doctor before you submit your application.
I don't think there is any issue about the fact that you are overweight.
I hope other members will share their experience with you soon

Armand

Hi Armand!

Thanks for your reply.  That's good to know about the tests being carried out here - we can get those sorted at least. 

Yes, it would be via an Occupation Permit.

Many thanks

Thanks for the info Nadeem - very useful!

One more question - which Health Insurance company is best to use?

Many thanks

Hi Piginawig,

Though you can have part of your test done in your home country by a certified practician, I strongly recommend you have them done here. It would be very much easy while you submit the whole documentation to the BOI here. Secondly, in order to avoid any queries from the BOI, which might be quite touchy on the matter as they may not be in a position to counter verify the authenticity of those tests done in your home country etc...it might create a lot of hassle, which could be easily avoided if you do the tests here in a private clinic. The tests are normally available in 12 hours and cost on average a 130 euros per person and are accepted by the BOI without any query pertaining to their authenticity.

Hi. Are these tests required of people who hold passports where they're given visa on entry? I also heard that documents like a birth certificate and letter of morality are needed if one is going to request for work or residency permit. Please can you confirm? Thanks.
