@glenVIP further to the above, if you prefer you can come over to Mauritius on a Tourist Visa (valid for 6 months) or the Premium Visa (valid 1 year, renewable) in order for you to set up your bank account & other formalities. (Upgrade to Retired non-Citizen status is allowed from the Premium Visa).

(no quarantine applicable to Fully Vaccinated travellers arriving in Mauritius from 1 October 2021).

Hi all. Reading the "rules' fir retiring. I see that your nit allowed to take a salary from a Mauritius company.
One of my thoughts is to register my UK company in Mauritius. And pay myself from the  transferred company. But that sounds like it's against the rules.
Any thoughts ?
