My husband and I are seriously thinking of re-locating to Mauritius form Dubai, where we have been livinf for 5 years. We are both self-employed and work globally but want a quieter pace of life than Dubai. I would be very grateful for information on any of the following;

- Who best to speak to re: application of Visa's and the types of residency options available
- Real Estate assistance, I would like to speak to some of the top real estate agents, as we will most likely rent for a year and then think about buying
- cost of living and ease of living for expats
- ease of doing business - also what is the international community like in Mauritius?
- ease of community and making friends?

All comments, guidance, and introductions welcome!

Hi, Shah,
You used to stay here for five years, so trust you know here very well.
Beautiful and friendly country. But small.
If you are the elderly people, it's a good place to live. But you have to consider the medical level and expenses if you have special requirement.
For the youger, I think there is no so many opportunities like the other prosperous place.

For your reference only.
