...to the essential expatriate information site, the only one
of its kind in Mauritius.
This site is especially for YOU if you are:
- thinking of moving to Mauritius
- already in the process of moving here
- a new arrival, or
- a long-term resident.
The aim is to give you as much information as possible before you get
here to make the transition easier and to keep you posted with practical
advice and information for your stay here, however long that may be.
Discover Mauritius through the eyes of other expatriates! This site
is loaded with ideas and information from expats who have already been
through the same experience as you. Most of all we just want you to
feel WELCOME and to know that you are not alone here!
We support the Africa Cries initiative
- Africa needs your help. It can’t save itself! Any contribution
will go a long way. Be a part of the greater cause. EVERY CENT COUNTS!
THE BASICS
Getting started...What does this country look like? Where is it?
Who discovered it? Who governs it? What are the people like? What
culture do they embrace? This is Mauritius in a nutshell.
ORIENTATION
Look, see and decide trip…or pure internet research? Whichever
way you prepare for the move, arm yourself with practical help on
finding accommodation, choosing a school, deciding whether or not
to move your pet, and completing your employment documentation.
DEPARTURE
Planning and packing. Work through our practical checklists of what
needs to be done from four months before your move, right up until
the day you step onto the plane to start your new life.
ARRIVAL
Find the answers to your ’Where do I find...?’ or ’What
do I do if…?’ worries. This is the crash course section
on who, what, where and why.
EXPAT LIFE
Now it's time to relax! Meet people, join a sports club or a book
club, indulge in some pampering at a spa, or sign your kids up for
horse riding lessons...it's all here.
User driven information exchange

There are
many facets of expatriate life that come as a total surprise. It is easy
for outsiders to get the wrong idea about expatriate life: a perception
that combines romanticism and leisure, adventure and pleasure, a better
life, a hope, a future. It is seen as a privileged lifestyle and envied
by those who stay behind. These qualities may, in some way or another, be
present in the expatriate lifestyle, but with them also come the sacrifices,
discipline, energy, focus, determination, self-discipline and connectedness
that enable you to keep yourself together. Share your thoughts ...
