Need a suggestion about resident permit.

Hi friend, Im not a Mauritian citizen , i was married to a Mauritian and stayed in Mauritius 8 years on resident permit as spouse of citizen.after 5 years we had a baby,
unfortunately My Wife left me because of another guy and we divorced ,
fortunately she gave me my baby and after staying some time there i came back to my country.

Now the baby ( Mauritian citizen) is with me in my country and im her legal father ofcourse but still im non-citizen of Mauritius.

My Question:
Can i apply for a resident or any permit to stay in Mauritius with my Baby?

I highly appreciate you to read and give your time to read my post.
Now hope to get the best solution by any member who can advise me what should i do to back Mauritius with my baby.

May God Bless You All..

Hi Kalleem,

Too bad, you did not make the request for a permanent residence after those 5 years, you would definitely have got it. The authorities will surely look into your case if you apply for a PR, but there is less probability that they will grant you with one. Try see with the citizenship office. Another way is to apply for an occupation permit or have your own company here.

Based only on your situation, you will not be granted the residence permit.
You will need to consider other options, like any foreigner would do to come and stay on the island.
