@Shenton I would suggest that you contact the responsible Member of Parliament and the Transport Minister. They might be able to help. Speed- breakers are required on that road for sure. It is danger, especially when the sun is setting or at ... Read More

The 180 day rule for Mauritius is not a good one for retirees. The money would still come into Mauritius regardless. If I wanted to become tax-resident, I would definitely stay for more than 180 days in Mauritius anyway. So I do not know why I must ... Read More

@gordon081257 That sounds about right. In any case, if an expat (couple) wants a decent life in Mauritius comparable to what they have left behind, $2000 per month should be budgeted for, including rent.Best wishes. Read More
