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: Occupation Permit if your basic salary is at least MUR 50,000 a month (about USD 1,100); the employer applies online. Short-term permits last up to 9 months.
Before you apply: Usually no licence. Some employers ask for vendor certificates (AWS, Microsoft, Cisco); signing audit reports needs a registered auditor.
Watch for: Under MUR 50,000 basic a month the work-permit route applies instead, with a local-first test and degree recognition. A short-term permit costs USD 300.
