Welcome to the ExpatMauritius.com Blog
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.

I believe that these new working permit conditions only apply to new applicants(to be confirmed by the BOI)
Dear All,
Please note as of the BOI, the new regulations on occupation/ residence permits will be applicable as from this Monday 29 March 2010.
I find it astonishing that the government has doubled and a half the minimum salary expectancy for expats. What are your thoughts on it?
