6 Simple Reasons to Move your Family to Mauritius Written by Candice Thompson As most parents know, having children and starting a family requires a large re-evaluation of one’s priorities. What may have been important to you as a single or couple before now seems to be of much less significance when you have a family to think of and provide for. It is for this reason that so many young families have made the exciting decision to move to Mauritius. Although uprooting one’s children from friends and schools they are familiar with might seem quite the daunting task, for a lot of parents, it’s a change worth making. When it comes to Mauritius, one needs only to look at the myriad of Facebook group comments to see how many parents have made the move and never looked back. Mauritius has some of the best quality of life for children worldwide and being able to raise one’s youngsters largely outdoors and away from screens is just a bonus. We have put together a list of our top 6 simplest reasons why Mauritius is an excellent home for young families. Although this list is by no means exhaustive, and there are hundreds of other reasons why to consider Mauritius, these are probably some of the main ones. All visitors to the island will be able to attest to the fact that the Mauritian people are incredibly welcoming and friendly. Many of them will go out of their way to chat to newcomers and find out where you are from. In addition, children are well-loved on the island and it’s not difficult to find a good child-minder or nanny who will treat your children like family. Although French and Creole are the most widely spoken languages in Mauritius, most people speak English, and you should find it relatively easy to converse with those you meet. And on the plus side, picking up some French yourself is beneficial. ​​​​​​ Mauritius has many excellent private schools and tertiary institutions and is quickly becoming a popular location for students to study abroad. For many people looking at relocating, first finding the right school for their children is part of the challenge. However, you can rest assured that there are many different schooling options to suit your child’s education needs and preferences. Some schools focus more on inclusivity and all-round learning, while others are very structured and academic. Ensuring that you liaise with several schools (and other parents if you can), will mean that you can make the best possible choice for your child. 1. The Climate Those living in Mauritius will be able to tell you that the year-round balmy and warm climate is a huge positive. Although it can get quite hot and humid in the summer months, spending late afternoons after school on the beach and enjoying forest walks under the cool shade of the trees is most enjoyable. Furthermore, the slightly cooler winter months, which are by no means cold, still allow for water sports like sailing, scuba diving, swimming, and surfing, amongst other things. Areas popular with expats like the west and north coast of the island are largely spared from the winter cold and the annual trade winds that the high-lying areas and east coast tend to endure. ​​​​​​​ see our "Mauritius Climate" page 2. The Location If you’ve looked at a map, you’ll notice that Mauritius is ideally located between Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe. For South Africans and Europeans, this makes it the perfect spot to relocate to with one’s family, while still not being too far from extended family members. Being on the same time zone as Dubai (GMT+4) and only two hours ahead of both South Africa and most of Europe allows for easy video chats with granny and grandad. The island also boasts an award-winning airport and is positioning itself as an Indian Ocean travel hub. There are already several daily flights between Johannesburg and Mauritius and are soon to be two daily flights to Dubai. This has made it very easy to travel to and from the island, especially since it’s only a 4-hour flight to Johannesburg and a 6-hour flight to Dubai. As most parents can confirm, travelling with young children is no easy feat, so knowing that it’s only a short trip to visit family is a bonus. And last, but definitely not least, is the safety aspect of the island. Being voted as the safest place in Africa, and 23rd safest nation worldwide, has made Mauritius stand out as a secure and family friendly location, and an ideal place to raise one’s children. In fact, Mauritius outranks countries like Italy (31), the United Kingdom (42) and France (66) on the Global Peace Index of 2022. 3. The People All visitors to the island will be able to attest to the fact that the Mauritian people are incredibly welcoming and friendly. Many of them will go out of their way to chat to newcomers and find out where you are from. In addition, children are well-loved on the island and it’s not difficult to find a good child-minder or nanny who will treat your children like family. Although French and Creole are the most widely spoken languages in Mauritius, most people speak English, and you should find it relatively easy to converse with those you meet. And on the plus side, picking up some French yourself is beneficial. see our "Mauritius People" page 4. The Schools It also bears mentioning that only looking at the schools in the immediate vicinity of where you plan on staying may limit your options. There are quite a few excellent schools centrally located on the island that are often dismissed by newcomers because they aren’t in the more popular “expat areas”. However, these schools should definitely be considered when looking at schooling options as they offer a high level of education, even if they do come with a bus ride. see our "Mauritius Schools" page 5. The Outdoors When one thinks of the island, it’s often a mental picture of sunny blue skies and waving palm trees that comes to mind. And that is exactly what makes Mauritius such an ideal location for young families to relocate to. With its temperate climate and miles of beaches and natural forests, Mauritius is full of outdoor activities for parents and children to do together, many only a short car ride from home. Whether it’s spending time on the beach, in the warm Indian Ocean water, or hiking up one of the incredible mountain peaks, every moment spent outdoors is sure to be enjoyed. Furthermore, not having to worry about coming across a poisonous snake while hiking is an extra bonus. see all activities, sports, beaches and more in our "Topics Page" 6. The Safety And last, but not least, is the safety aspect of the island. Being voted as the safest place in Africa, and 23rd safest nation worldwide, has made Mauritius stand out as a secure and family friendly location, and an ideal place to raise one’s children. In fact, Mauritius actually outranks countries like Italy (31), the United Kingdom (42) and France (66) on the Global Peace Index of 2022. With a very low crime rate overall, what little crime does occur tends to be non-violent and is dealt with quickly and completely. Police officers are generally friendly and polite and go about their duties with a sense of pride. In conclusion, if you are after a safe and friendly destination to raise your children, with proximity to South Africa and Europe and an excellent quality of life, then you need look no further than Mauritius. As many people who have gone before you can attest, it may be the best (and last) move you’ll ever make.

The 10 Most Commonly Asked Questions about Moving to Mauritius 2022-02-28 guest writer - Candice Thompson If you are considering relocating to Mauritius, you probably have a list of questions longer than your arm that you need answered. Whether it’s the ins and outs of permit applications, housing, pet importation or shipping, having these initial questions answered will go a long way at setting your mind at ease before you make that final decision. As a relocation team, we are peppered with a huge number of questions that we are always happy to answer. In this blog post, we have collated our top ten questions and answers for you. Hopefully this will help you in your decision-making process. 1. Can my spouse work while on a dependent permit? Unfortunately, not. Dependents are not permitted to enter the Mauritian labour market while on a dependent permit. However, if your spouse can work remotely online for a foreign company and be remunerated from abroad, then he or she will be allowed to continue doing that from Mauritius while on a dependent permit. 2. Is it possible to find a rental that will allow my pets? Of course. There are numerous rental properties that allow either cats or dogs, although the number of pets allowed is sometimes limited. It’s important to let your real estate agent know that you would like to rent a property with pets, so that they only show you suitable options. 3. How easy is it to switch between permits? It’s relatively easy to switch between permits. This will require a new application with the Economic Development Board, as well as payment of the full application fee for both the main applicant and the dependents. In certain cases, depending on the permit you are applying for, you may be required to bring a new investment amount into Mauritius. However, you won’t be required to redo your medical tests if your current permit was valid at the time of switching. 4. Can I bring my parents into Mauritius as my dependents? If you are the main permit holder, you may bring your parents into Mauritius as your dependents, as well as your spouse and children. However, if you are the spouse of the main permit holder, and on a dependent permit yourself, you unfortunately won’t be able to bring your parents in as dependents. On the other hand, your parents do have the option of applying for a Permit as a Retired Non-Citizen if they are over the age of 50. 5. Do I need a police clearance certificate for my application? It all depends on what permit you are applying for. At this stage, you will only be required to submit a police clearance certificate / certificate of character if you are applying for a Retirement permit. For all the other permit applications, a police clearance certificate is not required. 6. How often are permit applications rejected? In our experience, we have been successful with all permit applications to date. As long as you meet the criteria of the relevant permit, have a solid business plan (only applicable to Investor and Self-employed Permits) and are able to provide the required documents, we can’t see any reason why your application would be rejected. However, please bear in mind that the final decision lies with the Joint Committee who look at each application on a case-by-case basis. In the case of an application being rejected, the applicant may submit an appeal for reconsideration within 30 days from the date of the rejection. However, only one appeal may be made. 7. If I start off on a Premium Visa, will I be able to switch to a longer permit? Yes, absolutely. Many people like to start on a Premium Visa to get a feel for the island and see if they would like to make a more permanent move. If you are happy here, which is generally the case, they you then easily switch to the long-term permit that best suits your situation. This will require a full application with the Economic Development Board, medical tests and an appointment at the EDB. There are also many people who move to Mauritius on a Premium Visa while they are waiting for unabridged birth or police clearance certificates, or for the incorporation of their company. 8. When do I need to finalise my dependent permit applications? Dependent permits can only be applied for after the main applicant has received his or her permit. If you are planning a short trip to Mauritius to finalise your permit application, then we generally recommend rather applying for your dependent permits when you relocate for good. Dependent permits need to be collected by the main applicant in person and take about two weeks. In addition, you can add dependents onto your permit at any later stage should you require it. 9. What is the general timeline of the permit application process? The initial online permit application can take anywhere from 8 to 23 days working days for an applicant to receive his or her Approval in Principle. After Approval in Principle is received, the applicant has 90 days to come to Mauritius and finalise the application. This requires a series of basic medical tests, some extra documentation, and a visit to the Economic Development Board for your original documents to be verified. The main applicant should receive his or her permit on the day of the appointment, should all the paperwork be in order. 10. I don’t have an unabridged birth certificate. Will that be a problem? Unless you are applying for a Premium Visa which has no birth certificate requirement, then yes, that could be a problem. You are required to submit an unabridged birth certificate – or a birth certificate showing the names of your parent(s) on it – for all long-term permit applications. Whatever your thoughts are, knowing the facts will help you in your decision making.

Why South Africans Are Flocking to Mauritius Video by: MG CREATIVE The number of South Africans arriving in Mauritius looking for a new permanent home has increased exponentially over the last year and shows no sign of slowing down. A number of sources suggest that applications for residency using the government 'one year visa' are currently in the thousands. With me living in the West of the island, which seems to be the most popular of destinations for South Africans due to the fact that the mountains that hug the coastline in that region, bear a great resemblance to South Africa itself, I have gained a number of friends who have shared their opinions on what they have left SA and why they chose Mauritius. Here is what I understand to be true. FIRST OF ALL - IT'S GEOGRAPHY Every South African I know that has settled here in Mauritius has family and/or business interests back in SA and with Mauritius, only being the maximum of a four-hour flight back makes Mauritius as a location very attractive. TAX South Africans have the benefit of being outside SA’s monetary area for exchange control and tax purposes. South Africa's lack of economic growth, the devastation of state capture, and recent talks of using people’s hard-earned pensions to bail out badly managed state-owned enterprises are making South Africans look for safe-havens, such as Mauritius, where their assets will be protected. INFRASTRUCTURE Mauritius may still be a developing country compared to the UK, Australia or New Zealand but it offers sound infrastructure, free public education to its residents, and reliable private and public healthcare facilities. POLITICAL STABILITY One thing I have learned over the years of getting to know South Africans now living in Mauritius is that they are born thick-skinned! I think the unrest during the summer of 2021 resulting in widespread violence and looting brought home to me just why so many South Africans were looking for a safe place to live and bring up their families. I recently had a BBQ around a friend's house, or I should say "braai" and we were sat outside in the early evening and our conversation lead to me asking what the biggest difference between here and SA. The reply was "we could be doing exactly the same thing in both Countries and both have great, views and scenery around us, but the difference here is that the children can come and go through the garden gate as often as they like, play on the street in or the park down the road. In SA, the gate would be locked, there would be razor wire sounding the house and I would still need eyes in the back of my head and that wouldn't deter people coming into my property." What he was explaining, was that the threat of violence against you and your family was there every day and in every moment and had become the norm for South Africa to be on their guard. The recent unrest which escalated so quickly and dramatically had been the tipping point for many, saying "enough is enough". ABILITY TO STAY IN MAURITIUS PERMITS Occupational Permits The Occupation Permit (OP) is a combined work and residence permit which allows foreign nationals to work and reside in Mauritius under the following 3 specific categories (Investor, Professional & Self-Employed). Investor: To further open the Mauritian market to investors and foreign expertise and with a view to long-term stability, the government offers a 10-year Occupation Permit as a value investing incentive through different means of investment. Professional: A professional should earn a monthly basic salary of at least MUR 60,000. As for professionals in the ICT Sector, the monthly basic salary should be at least MUR 30,000. Self-employed: The Self-Employed Occupation Permit is ideal for a freelancer wishing to relocate to a tropical jurisdiction with reliable telecommunication networks. Beyond the possibility to pursue an active lifestyle, it also provides the opportunity to provide professional services to both local and international clients. Retired non-citizen: Retiring in Mauritius may be your best choice if you are aged 50 or above. With just USD 1500 monthly, you can benefit from a 10-year Residence Permit and live in a peaceful environment. The Residence Permit further offers you the possibility to apply for a 20-year Permanent Residence Permit after 3 consecutive years. https://www.edbmauritius.org/info-centre/occupation-permit-0 Premium Visa: Mauritius, one of the most beautiful islands in the world, has introduced a Premium Travel Visa, valid for a period of one year, and renewable. To qualify for the Premium Visa, interested visitors should produce proof of their long stay plans and sufficient travel and health insurance for the initial period of stay while meeting the following criteria: the applicants should not enter the Mauritius Labour market; the main place of business and source of income and profits should be outside Mauritius; documentary evidence to support the application such as the purpose of visit, accommodation etc.; and other basic immigration requirements. Invest in Property: People seeking residency on a long-term basis will have to invest a minimum of $375,000. This can be done through the purchase of property under a scheme approved by the Economic Development Board, or through investment into “qualifying activities”, also approved by the board. If all of this sounds a little confusing or a little bit too much for you, I would suggest speaking to someone that has not only gone through the same process themselves but assists other South Africans in doing the same. To this end, I would recommend speaking with Candice Thompson of BTG Mauritius who can hold your hand through the whole process. c.thompson@btg-consultingafrica.com Here are some of the questions that Candice answers on a regular basis How easy is it to switch between permits? It’s relatively easy to switch between permits. This will require a new application with the Economic Development Board, as well as payment of the full application fee for both the main applicant and the dependents. In certain cases, depending on the permit you are applying for, you may be required to bring a new investment amount into Mauritius.

However, please bear in mind that the final decision lies with the Joint Committee which looks at each application on a case-by-case basis. In the case of an application being rejected, the applicant may submit an appeal for reconsideration within 30 days from the date of the rejection. However, only one appeal may be made. If I start off on a Premium Visa, will I be able to switch to a longer permit? Yes, absolutely.

The main applicant should receive his or her permit on the day of the appointment, should all the paperwork be in order. BREAKING TIES South Africans need to show that they have no intention of returning to SA. The South African Revenue Service (SARS) will apply both the physical presence test as well as the ordinarily resident test to determine the tax status of individuals who are living and working abroad. People who have obtained long-term residency in Mauritius will have peace of mind that they are well on their way to not being tax residents of South Africa. Especially where they have formalized their status with SARS and SARB by using the Financial Emigration process.

In the past few days, the Mauritian government has been facing what some claim to be the most violent protests in recent years, with residents from various mostly low-income neighbourhoods protesting unsustainable increases in the cost of living and the sudden and drastic increase of petrol and gas prices by more than 10% and 30%. The protests, which were initially peaceful, emerged particularly from the region of Camp-Levieux, an area that hosts a large number of social housing projects and low-income families mostly of Kreol origin who have been hit the hardest by inflation and rising prices. While there were some small incidents at the beginning, such as the burning of tires and heated gatherings, it was not until Friday’s arrest of “Darren”, a young local activist and protestor, that the situation worsened considerably. On Friday, Darren had issued an ultimatum to the government, demanding the lowering of fuel prices and the adoption of new measures to reduce the cost of living in general, with the threat of further protests in case of inaction. He was taken into custody by police for “participation in two illegal demonstrations” and “use of social media to post hate messages”. He was then allegedly beaten and subsequently taken to the police headquarters at the Central Barracks, which were quickly rocked by demonstrations by hundreds of people who protested his detention and who had to be dispersed by tear gas. This in turn led to parallel protests within a couple of hours at other mostly Kreol communities at Trou-d’Eau-Douce, Barkly, Vallijee and Cassis. With the crowds pelting stones, beer cans and, in a particularly distressing situation, a home-made Molotov cocktail, the police were forced to deploy special crowd-control units and armored vehicles to communities across the country to control the situations. With the police accused of beating protestors and some people comparing the current protests to the 1999 race riots following the death of Kreol artist Kaya in police detention, the situation here seems especially sensitive, hitting the core of social harmony in a multi religious, multi-ethnic country widely known for its tolerance. While things seem to have calmed down following the Bail and Remand Court releasing Darren on bail today, Saturday, many people obviously remain frustrated with the worsening socio-economic conditions of the country. It remains to be seen if the protests will worsen or if an acceptable compromise can be reached between the protestors and an increasingly debt-riddled State. What remains clear is that the existing socio-economic policies, which many consider as generous compared to other African states, have failed large sections of the population, who remain disillusioned with the Mauritian State.

Many of the villas in Mauritius are equipped with swimming pools and as a general rule of thumb homeowners and renting tenants will hire a pool maintenance company or private contractor to look after it on a regular basis. Over the years we have rented three properties in Mauritius and used five different pool maintenance companies with us looking for our sixth as I write this blog. Fact is, in our experience, pool maintenance in Mauritius is a lottery for who and what you are going to get. Say you find a reputable company, the guy that comes to do your pool invariably arrives on a small motorcycle, stays for the shortest period of time possible doing the smallest amount of work. If you are out at work you can't prove if they've been or not. If they come once a week and that day falls on a public holiday they won't be there until the following week. The same goes if they are ill, on holiday, broken down, can't make it, family crisis, are stuck in traffic, had to attend an urgent family member event or requirement! Again, in our experience, what follows are calls complaining that the pool can't be used because it's a pond green colour. I can't recommend anyone to you at the moment but what I can do is to provide you with a list of companies to steer clear of and to access that list just drop me a line on the link below.
