FREELANCE PERMIT

Self-Employed Occupation Permit

Work as a lifestyle is possible in Mauritius!

With the Self-Employed Occupation Permit, combine flexible working hours with quality of life. Choose to live your passion in a setting that lends itself to outdoor activities, personal development and waterfront afterwork.

All you have to do to be considered a freelancer is work for yourself. In Mauritius, freelancers include copywriters, translators, interpreters, bloggers, marketing consultants, community managers, graphic designers, online trainers, web developers, traders, real estate agents, architects, sports coaches, nutritionists, writers, journalists, photographers and more!

The conditions

  • Being a graduate
  • Validate a business plan with the Mauritian authorities
  • Work alone, which means that you will not be able to hire
  • Make a capital contribution of $35,000 to a Mauritian account (unblocked)
  • Sales of €20,000/year (Rs 800,000) for visa renewal after 10 years
