Moving to mauritius

Good morning Angela,
I am lovena living in the north of Mauritius. From where are you from?? I would be glad to help you. ***

Good morning Ladies,

I am Candi.  My husaband John & I will also be moving to Mauritius shortly with our 17 year old son and are interested in a house near Cap Mellereaux. 

I am in fact in the process of getting tickets to come over to view it this week and to visit employment agencies etc regarding work.  I believe we need to get a work permit?  He also has his own business - he is a registered gas installer as well as a qualified instrument technician but i read that to have your own business in Mauritius involves a whole thread of red tape, hence my suggestion for him to rather work for someone?

I have also been my own boss whilst living in Cape Town, i started a company called the Virtual PA which offers business men & women the service of doing secretarial work for them offsite and i only charge for the actual hours worked instead of being 'paid to do nothing' whilst sitting in the office waiting for a call or a task

As above, i was concerned about carrying this on hence i am also looking for employment but perhaps you ladies know something i don't about work? 

I hope to meet you both one day and enjoy sundowners looking out over the incredibly beautiful Mauritian ocean.
