Moving to Mauritius is a wonderful project, but it takes preparation. Between housing, paperwork, banking, healthcare and your children’s schooling, the questions come quickly. Here is our guide to settling in with confidence: each step links to a detailed page.

Moving to Mauritius: where to start

Start by defining your project: main residence, retirement, investment or professional activity. Then choose the region that suits your lifestyle. To discover the market and its rules, read our page on real estate in Mauritius. Next, estimate your budget with our page on the cost of living in Mauritius.

Moving to Mauritius: residence, notary and taxes

A foreigner can settle in Mauritius with a residence permit: discover our page on the residence permit and, for the official schemes, the website of the Economic Development Board. In addition, a purchase goes through a notary: see our page on the notary in Mauritius. Finally, read our page on property taxes in Mauritius to understand duties and taxes.

Buy or rent to settle in

You can rent first to discover the island, then buy later. Discover our page on long-term rentals. If you still live abroad, you can also buy without travelling: read our guide to buying remotely.

Banking, insurance and budget

Money matters a great deal when you relocate. First, open a suitable account by following our page on a bank account in Mauritius. Then plan your protection with our page on insurance in Mauritius, which also covers the CFE for French citizens.

Healthcare and schools: family life

To find the right care, read our page on healthcare in Mauritius. For your children, see our page on schools in Mauritius. This way, you can choose your neighbourhood according to clinics and schools.
