Occupation permit

dbester

Hi. Please can anyone help me with this. I have been reading online but can’t find the answer.

I would like to get an occupation permit and live in Mauritius for a few years with my wife and children.

I am a shareholder and director in a company. The company is not incorporated in Mauritius.

Will it be possible to apply for a permit? And which one would it be?

As far as I can see - the professional permit is only for non residents who work for a company incorporated in Mauritius?

Thank you

Hi,
I have a company overseas and got a Self Employed Occupation Permit. Basically I contract myself out (as a consultant) to my company. In my case, I had to give up the director title and have somebody replace me in that position (it has nothing to do with Mauritius specifically, it was just too complex to be a non resident director of my company).
You will have to submit a business case, resume, and track record to the EDB, and it is up to them to decide whether your permit will be accepted. You need to show that you bring a valuable skillset to the island that is in demand here. Some local relocation companies can help you determine your chances of getting a permit and assist with the paperwork. I went with Gibson and Hills but there are others too :)
Hope this helps!

While we are on this, i may partner with a friend who has a Mauritius based company to set up a restaurant, I will earn above the MUR60000 threshold, would I apply for an occupancy visa or a work visa. I intend to live in Mauritius with my family. My wife wont be working.

Hi,
Indeed you can relocate here. Along with the residence permit, you'll also benefit from incentives like 8-year tax holiday...

Hi dBester,
Why don't you relocate your company here?
Or incorporate a new one to take over the activities?
Both are feasible and attract different incentives.
You may send me a message to preserve the confidential nature of your activities.
