Test Job – please do not apply
Can I work in Mauritius?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Work permit after a local-first test. Drivers need 3 years' experience and an age of 25 to 45; managers on MUR 50,000+ basic can use the Occupation Permit.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Foreign drivers work only for their sponsoring employer and take a 3.5-day course on Mauritian roads after arrival.
