My partner is working there now and wants me to join him

Hi,

Getting married first will definitely help as you will be able to come and live in Mauritius as a dependent to your husband. If you do find a job, then you can ultimately apply for a separate Occupation Permit.

Thanks for the reply, will have to work on that then!

Hi Fiona. Hmmm so many questions

Okay you need to say if your partner is a Mauritian or not. If he is then no worries, once you get married, you immediately get residence and you can work.

Now, if he is not then that is totally different. To get in, you will need to apply for your work-permit. By you I mean your future employer. The length of work-permits vary from 4 to 8 years depending on the work sector you are in (tourism, health, construction, education, etc.).

I was a foreigner when I first arrived in Mauritius in 1986. I am married to a Mauritian wife and hence got naturalized and got my Mauritian citizenship.

I am not an expert in this immigration, but yes I can answer many questions

Feel free to ask!
