Learn to sail half day? by thedandan
Hi, I've been helping to organise a few meetups in the north recently, and we're thinking about having a learn to sail day. I've found a sailing school in Mont Choisy which has nice boats (Lasers, Hobie Cats, etc) and good ...
Hi Wandlewed, There wasn't enough interest to organise anything with a group, but I did end up learning to sail anyway. The company is called WildWind and they are based out of Coral Azur Hotel. Enjoy your sailing! Cheers, Dan. Read More

Is there any way to bring back cars from abroad? by Jey_L
Hello guys, I'm a Mauritius living abroad and is coming back to live in the country for good with family next month. We own 2 cars (Toyota Corolla 1995 1.6cc & Honda Amaze 2013 1.2cc) and would like to bring them with us. What would be the customs ...
Hi, According to http://www.mra.mu/index.php/faq/custom#7 : * The car should be between 18 months and 48 months old * You'll need to get a fair chunk of paperwork sorted out * You may need to pay import duty You should probably read up on vehicle ... Read More
Hi, From my understanding, once you are married to a Mauritian citizen, you don't really need any kind of visa to live/work here. Just have a copy of your marriage certificate handy. Source: I asked in Port Louis at the office responsible for ... Read More

Dual nationality? by nalmay
I was born in Mauritius and I am currently residing in the UK and have acquired British nationality a few years ago. In a couple of years my Mauritian passport is expiring and I would like to renew it but unsure if I will have to renounce one of ...
Hi Nalmay, I think much of the information online about Mauritius is wrong. I don't think the Mauritius Citizenship Act mentions anything about having to renounce your citizenship, although it does mention that you can renounce it if you want ... Read More
Accommodation with a dog by JohnMartinB
Hi All I am moving to Mauritius next month with my 10 yo daughter and a dog. Having a dog in tow makes it difficult to find a place to rent. Any suggestions as to an easy way to find pet friendly 2 -3 bed accommodation is welcome. To start with I ...
Hi John, There are lots of vacant rental properties in Mauritius at the moment, so landlords are fairly willing to make concessions. I don't have a dog, but while looking for accommodation in October I asked a few landlords if I could get a dog, ... Read More
Furnished house - what does this mean? by GuestPoster66
Hello again What exactly can you expect to have in a fully furnished house. We are packing (moving 3 Jan) at the moment and I'm trying to decide what we are bringing especially re kitchen stuff, lamps, etc. On the rental price is this negotiable or ...
Negotiating is easy: Step 1. Get your Mauritian wife to do all the talking Step 2. Hide your foreign skin and accent in the bushes More seriously, when we were looking 3 months ago, the rental market was totally crazy (I assume it still is). We ... Read More

Hi Katie, We recently went hunting for a rental flat in the north, here are some of the things we found: * Rental prices vary hugely (You can pay anywhere from MUR 15,000 to 50,000) * The more you pay, the more you get (you won't get a house on ... Read More
Looking for hiking buddies/groups by adam_c
Hi there, Came to Mauritius in August and desperate to climb some mountains or hike and find some nice spots and sceneries. My idea was to come and look for work (which I'm still trying to do!) whilst having some sort of active holiday, but if I ...
Hi guys, It looks like we're getting a group together... I do have a driving licence, and am happy to hire and/or drive a car. I'm not sure if hiring a car for one day is easy, but we can find out. I had a read of a blog post of somebody climbing ... Read More

Hi Adam, I've also recently arrived in Mauritius, and am just getting my life set up. I'm definitely up for some hiking, and am fairly mobile (motorbike). Do you have any particular hikes you're keen on, or just want to climb the nearest pointy ... Read More
Border control and marriage of non-citizen to mauritian citizen by melandmike
Hi there Does anyone have any idea about what I need to say to the border control authorities upon arriving in Mauritius as I intend to marry a citizen of the country but am a non-citizen. Do I have to present some kind of paper work? Can I get ...
Hi, We phoned the immigration office at the airport in Mauritius, and they said to write "marriage" on the immigration form, and make sure you have a return ticket within 6 months. Try phoning them and see if they tell you the same thing. Dan. Read More
East or eastern. Piece of advice from English native speakers! by NadiaM
It's been a funny thing which I want to clarify with the native speakers! I'm not English native speaker, I'm from Ukraine. I've been studying English from 10 years old, later at the University (foreign languages), still I can't say this process ...
Short answer: I agree with your use of "northern coast", but I think it's acceptable to use either, and it's probably more common to use "north coast". Long answer: From my understanding, "eastern" is an adjective, whereas "east" will generally ... Read More
