Future in Mauritius by TodBenjamin
Hello, I've relocated to Mauritius and been working here for about 3 years now. It is indeed a beautiful place, but I've been struggling when it comes to the people's mentality and behaviour. I'm wondering how you all are coping with ...
Hi, I started Christian meditation in order to cope with the mentality My advise: Stay away from the state schools, local accommodation and try to maintain your life in the little expat bubble - with always more service personnel than absolutely ... Read More

Working conditions and labour laws in Mauritius by Priscilla
Hello, Working conditions differ across the world, and as a working expat, it is important to know your rights as an employee. Are working conditions standard in Mauritius? For instance, are working hours, paid time off, and sick leave ...
Well, my cleaning lady charged 130 Rs an hour (coming every day for 4 hours) and was she reliable? Not a bit, she did not even text me when she did not come but just stayed away. Most of the babysitters do not work below 200 Rs and hour if they ... Read More

Hi All, We are considering move to Mauritius by Jan 2019 latest and I have been trying to find a suitable school for my daughter. She is going into UK year 9 and is in mainstream school but has some special needs so requires a small school with ...

This is exactly the point, the bureaucratic burden to enter Mauritius is too high if you do not come as an investor, self-employed or as a professional or are happy to come as a pensioner. You cannot simply show your bank statement and come in but ... Read More

Well, you cannot compare it to London or Paris, it is an island with not much cultural offerings and the infrastructure cannot be compared to a "developed country". Roads are generally bad here as they have no security side-lane so you always ... Read More
