Are we allowed to stay in maritius for a year ?

hi

you can stay as dependent as long as ur husband is on work permit... dont worry

Dear vishalchandna,

Do have have to buy round trip ticket to come to mauritius?
Thanks
Maggie

hi

well once ur husband has got a work permit i think u need not buy a round ticket u can come n stay wid him as long as he is here on work permit,..just one doubt if has a wok permit or occupational permit? if occupational permit den its easier for you to get resident permit.. in case of work permit u wil have to get a resident permit as dependent but even dis is not a problem as such.. so just ask your husband to do the needful for your paper work before you arrive.. i m assuming that u r stil not in mauritius and ur husband is already here having work/occupational permit

cheers

welcome to mauriitus

Dear Maggie

Welcome to Mauritius

For sure, you are authorized to stay as dependent in Mauritius. Still, you should make an application for a Residence Permit on the form “Application to enter Mauritius” and submitted along with the following documents:-

    Copy of marriage certificate
    Copy of your passport – Personal data plus visa pages.
    Copy of birth certificate
    Four recent passport sized photographs.
    A medical certificate issued by a doctor in Mauritius
    A Bank Guarantee of Rs 20,000/- is payable

I would advise that you purchase a return ticket in that this avoids getting awful surprise when processing the trip.  You can then arrange for a partial refund, which, by the way, is very minimal.

Cheers:)

Dear Vayid,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Just want to confirm:

1/  Copy of marriage certificate
    Copy of your passport – Personal data plus visa pages.
    Copy of birth certificate

Do I need to bring the original marriage certificate with me ?



2/ My parentw may want to come and visit us, can they extend their visa for half a year or even longer? if they can, what kind of documentation they need to bring ? thanks
Maggie

Hi Maggie J,
When you submit your file for a resident permit, you should submit the original of all documents along with a photocopy of each document (copy which they will keep; the originals will be given back immediately).
The tourist visa received at the airport can be extended till a maximum of 6 months simply by going to Sterling house and requesting an extension although you then need to have a new airticket reservation.
Cheers

Dear Maggie

Arlette gave you the perfect information. I understand that your parents are originally from CANADA, and they might find the change radical. Hope they’ll enjoy it for six months.

P.S: By the WAY Arlette, I preferred your original photo rather than this new icon. Hope you do not mind my boldness.

Cheers

Vayid
