Re: JOB CHANGE
Well, your occupation permit links you to your employer, as you registered as a professional.
You should definitely contact the BOI http://www.boimauritius.com/

Re: JOB CHANGE
Dear Walter
I understand that you hold an Occupational Permit and that your salary is more than Rs 30,000/-
You can change your status into that of Investor as long as your fulfill the requested conditions.
Still, I would advise that you complete the whole procedures prior to submitting your resignation.
Cheers

Re: JOB CHANGE
Once you change permit, you should start the procedures once again. Except for the medicals which can be transferred from one file to another.
Your ex-employer needs to provide a 'consent letter' stating that he has no objection that you take up the new job. You can also cancel your permit any time by expressing it in writing to the BOI and Immigration office
I'm not agreable to Vayid's comment, since you wont be able to obtain any formal assurance from BOI prior to cancelling your existing occupation permit. Go there, hook up one of the officers and obtain verbal confirmation from him / her, note down his name so he/she cant deny having advised you.
Hope it helps.

I stated that Walter could change his status into that of Investor as long as he fulfils the requested conditions, and advised that he completes the whole procedures PRIOR to submitting his resignation.
The “consent” or “no-objection” letter is required ONLY in the situation where the employee is joining another Employer.
Going to the BOI and
“hook up one of the officers and obtain verbal confirmation from him / her, note down his name so he/she can’t deny having advised you.”
is too simplistic, since, the Officer, will surely, in case of complication, deny having advised in the direction adopted by the person.
It is most prudent to have advice of such importance in writing, especially in Mauritius, even if it will take longer, much longer time!!!
Kind regards
