Moving to Mauritius

Welcome on board,

most expatriates live around Grand Bay, Tamarin, Flic en Flac. Tamarin or Flic en Flac would be fine for you

Thanks Julien, will start looking in and around that area!!

Hello

I found your site and found it to be very helpful and interesting.
We “myself and wife with one daughter age 3” are thinking to make the big move to Mauritius from South Africa. Like all concerned parents there are a couple of questions we would like to know before making the big move.
First just to give you a background, we are self employed, we have our own Telecommunications company.
We have had a look at all the different visas available. But for our purpose the options are business visa or self employment visa. Could anyone please give us more detail as to go about it, who has gone through the process before ext.

Then as a parent we would like to know which is the best place to stay or area, I don't want to sound modest but we make in the region of about 1 to 1.5 million MUR per month.

So here are some questions:
1. Education for my daughter - private schooling preferred.
2. Medical insurance
3. Housing - renting for 3 years before buying. Estate Agents
4. Transport - just for shops and sightseeing as we work from home.
5. Internet connectivity options
6. Security
7. Appointment of a PA
8. Cell phone options
9. Banking
10. Consumables, water lights, gas ext.
11. Any other info or advise would be greatly appreciated.
12. Appointment of IT staff.

Hope to hear from someone soon.

Kind regards

Jan Botha
