Please my name is Kayode From Nigeria,
Please i need Mauritius working visa...
Can anybody assist me on this?
Thanks and God bless.

Yes

You apply for a job, get it, then the employer sorts out the visa

There is no working visa in Mauritius.
You can work and live on the island either through:
1. Occupation Permit delivered by the edb whereby the salary has to be > Rs 60K per month for a professional ( you come on a business visa and need to show that you have a prospective employment in hand since you will have to apply for that permit  in situ)
OR
2. Work Permit delivered by the Ministry of Labour for jobs , either manual ( hired as a group per quota from different countries) or for special functions for which the employer can't find locals to do the job .  The employer has to apply on your behalf and you can't be on the island when your fiel is under study . Salary < Rs 60K

Check the Mauritius guide for information or do a search on the forum because this topic has been discussed ad vitam aeternam

Thanks for your contribution External,
I still need more explanations on this because, i think there should be a company that is ready to offer me a job before traveling to Mauritius so that i can show the immigration at the POE before they can let me in...
Please still need more explanations...
Thanks

Hi Kboy0456,

What kind of job were you looking for ? It has been said already, you need to find a job before coming here and finding an employer who is ready to employ you will be extremely difficult.

However, maybe if you could provide some details on your qualifications or the kind of job you are looking for, members will be able to share some tips about how and where you can find a job ....

All the best,
Bhavna

Mauritians and local residents already have the competencies you mentioned and much more. You need to ask yourself what more can you provide that a local resident or a mauritian can not.
