Property is not that cheap. It's cheaper than Flc en Flac or Tamarin yes it's true, but still, not that cheap. The reason I think prices didn't go up is because they were supposed to build the coil plant there, so people were thinking of ... Read More

According to the law, the salary for expats should be 45,000 MUR minimum (and 35,000 for those working in the IT field if I'm not mistaken). 26,000 sounds weird. It sounds like a salary for a Mauritian, not for an expat. Make sure with the company ... Read More
