RE : Residence Permit and Marriage

Male spouses need a residence permit just as female spouses do Steve

Ta, Daisymay2 

Does the male/female spouse have to do that immediately after being married ?

Hi Steve, did you marry a Mauritian citizen? If so, you apply for a residence permit. I am in that situation. The Marriage certificate alone is not enough. Cheers, Lance.

Hello Lance,

Thanks for your reply, mate.

No, I did not. It is quite possible that it happens someday. You never what the future holds. Since you are in that situation, would you mind telling me a bit more about the marriage visa ? Will I have to produce any documents to the Immigration officers ?

I wish you all the best with your residence permit. Things will work out ok for you, I am sure. 

Best regards,
Steve

Hi Steve, I got married in Mauritius in 2012. I had to produce my marriage certificate, Police Clearance, and you have to have a bank account in Mauritius(then).If I remember also my birth certificate. Best of luck. You can also contact the Department of Civil Status in Port Louis.
