Welcome Isabella,

or you get married to a mauritian.

There is no way around , or you can get engaged in a job .

My husband and I both work in the IT industry in South Africa.
We are primarily .Net Programmers and we both have 2 years computer
programming training experience aswell.
We also both have Hospitality experience/background.
We are interested in relocating to Mauritius and I've been doing a fair amount
of research on the internet. I've read about the "Scheme to Attract Professionals for Emerging Sectors"
and as far as I can tell, we, in our line of work should qualify for this Scheme.

I've been searching the internet for vacancies, but haven't been able to find anything.

If anyone has information on possible recruiting companies or businesses that we could
forward our CV's to, it would be greatly appreciated

Hi

I moved to Mauritius at the beginnig of this year, from South Africa. I got married here and now I'm currently searching for a job, I have a diploma in financial management. I applied to lots of places but to no avail due to the fact I don't speak French. Please let me know of companies looking for english speaking employees.

I will be greatfull for any Help.

Thanks

I think Melloman, that you are too direct and limitative. To be able to buy property, you need to be in one of the following conditions:

- holder of a permanent residence permit
- buy in the IRS scheme
- buy in a new property scheme launched after budget
- buy for exclusive business use
- or get a Mauritian nationality.

There are specific steps that lead to such conditions, on which we can elaborate if anyone interested. It should start with a stay permit, which differ again from conditions to conditions:

- whether you are an expat worker
- whether you are an investor
- whether you are a retired non-citizen

I'm here people, if you want more info.
