Working in Mauritius
|
An occupation permit allows a non-national to work in Mauritius. It is both a
work and a residence permit. A complete application is made through the Board
of Investment to the Passport and Immigration Office. Applicants must register
with the Board of Investment and registration is done at the same time that an
application is submitted.
An investor, a professional or a self-employed person may be eligible under the
following conditions:
|
|
| Investor |
The business activity should generate a turnover exceeding MRU 4 million annually with an initial investment of USD100,000 or its equivalent in freely convertible foreign currency.
If there is more than one investor in the same company applying for an Occupation Permit, the turnover criteria should apply in respect of each applicant (i.e MRU 8 million for two applicants, MRU 12 million for three applicants, and so on) |
| Professional |
Basic salary should exceed MRU 75,000 monthly |
| Self-employed |
Income from the business activity should exceed MRU 600,000 annually with an initial investment of USD 35,000 or its equivalent in freely convertible foreign currency. |
|
It takes three days to process and obtain an occupation permit which is issued
for a maximum period of three years.
The dependents of an occupation permit holder may also apply for residence
permits.
