It's fast and easy to open a bank account in Mauritius. Formalities are very simple and no subsequent efforts are needed. In general, Mauritian banks require evidence of identity (Passport - Identity Card), recent bank statements, a copy of your work permit and a proof of residence in the island. You can even fill up your application form online with some banks.
Before choosing your bank, check your current bank to get information about partnerships that could exist between your bank and Mauritian banks.
Good to know:
Before depositing significant amounts of money in your Mauritian bank account, you must provide information about the origin of funds. (applicable above a certain amount varying from bank to bank).
