Hi Darryl
The following two websites may assist you with information on getting into Mauritius - essentially you either have to buy property for a minimum of 500 000 USD, get a job offer or set up your own business to qualify.
www.frontfin.mu
Take a look at the info as well as the link to The Captains Blog, as I am sure that this may answer some of your questions.
My company assists with re-locations and you visit our website at: www.dodorelocations.com
I hope they will be of some help to you
Kind regards
Joanne
