Hello everyone,

During your expat experience in Mauritius, you may have to travel solo with your kids, either to explore your host country, to visit family and friends in your home country, or for vacation trips.
While this journey can be a great adventure, it also comes with its challenges. We therefore would like to invite you to share your insights and experiences to help fellow expats make the most of their trips with their children.

Here are a few questions to start with:

How to best prepare for traveling solo with kids?

What are the biggest challenges expat parents in Mauritius face when traveling solo with their kids?

What specific formalities or documents do you need to travel alone with kids (eg. parental consent for travel, birth certificate, etc.)?

What are your tips to smooth the journey with kids?

Share your experiences, tips and anecdotes to help fellow expats.

Thank you for your contribution.

Hello expats,

- Prepare well ahead check for good travel ticket deals of course

- check requirements for the country you are visiting (visas, length of stay, accomodation, weather, just generally research etc) check if you need visas before traveling to avoid delays.

- See if you need health vaccines (required for African destinations ) - from Mauritius you can get vaccines or info from Mutual aid building at Port Louis.

Hope this helps! Cheers all

- Passports - check that you have at least 6 months validity
