Starting a small business

Hello....

We are planning to move to Mauritius soon and would appreciate some assistance on what business we can start up with about USD 6000. What would the procedure to secure a long term work visa be and anything else that can be of help will be mich much appreciated.

Hello Saimasayyid086,


Welcome on board !


Work visa will depend whether you get a job contract from an employer willing to employ you. It is the employer who applies for the "visa" which is called the occupation permit.


As for investing in Mauritius, there are a couple of occupation permits delivered to expats who want to invest starting from 35,000 USD for self-employed. (it gives them the right to live and work here)


I would suggest that you go through the Living in Mauritius guide for expats for in depth details and the official website here : https://residency.mu/



If you have any question, feel free to ask.


All the best,

Bhavna
