Words of a retiree in Mauritius

  • Luc, a Frenchman, enjoys a peaceful retirement.

    I wanted to retire in a place where it was warm all year round. Mauritius was the perfect place. 

    The support was extraordinary, Anais took care of everything including details such as making medical appointments in Mauritius to finalize my file. For me it was a really pleasant experience. I arrived here with ease of mind!

Where to live in Mauritius?

22 May 2020|Comments Off on Where to live in Mauritius?

Vous avez décidé de vous expatrier à Maurice, mais hésitez encore sur votre région d'accueil ? Voici de quoi vous aider à faire votre choix !

You are not the first
to have asked yourself these questions.

Can I buy real estate on a Retirement Permit?2023-10-31T07:15:59+01:00

Yes of course, a Retired Permit holder will be able to acquire real estate open to foreigners.
We invite you to download our real estate investment guide for more information.

Can I work in Mauritius as a retiree?2023-10-23T20:41:54+02:00

No. A Retired Permit does not allow you to work and receive income from a Mauritian entity.

How does the health system work in Mauritius?2024-03-13T08:51:47+01:00

You will find a decent health system in Mauritius: Hospitals, doctors, private clinics, specialist doctors and others.
Pharmacies are also numerous and equipped.

For any significant health concerns, we will still advise you to be repatriated to Reunion Island in order to benefit from French medical standards and more various equipment.

Go to our Digital relocation Guide to find out more and access the complete list of clinics and doctors in Mauritius.

How does taxation work for retirees in Mauritius?2024-03-13T08:53:19+01:00

This all depends on your retirement plan. Some pensions, particularly public pensions, are automatically linked to the original tax system.

We recommend that you speak with a tax specialist on this subject. Do not hesitate to contact our partner Tax Expert.

Can I include my family on my Retirement Permit?2023-10-23T20:40:54+02:00

Yes, your family can be attached under a Dependent Visa (spouse, children and parents).
