How to get Married fast in Mauritius

Hi
You could get married in either France or. SA then come into Mauritius on your husband's occupation permit as his dependent

Good luck

Hello, I thought I'd read on the forum that other partners (not married) were able to stay on their partner's work visa but I can't recall the specifics. It might be worth getting another opinion from an official as it's not uncommon to getting conflicting advice. If you do have to get married wouldn't doing so in Renuion be the easier option? Good luck and hopefully someone can answer with more detail.

This will explain things to you:

Hi, yes I had indeed been on the civil office website and spoke to them, same for the french embassy in Port Louis. I will meet them on Thrusday. The problem for us  is that getting the french paperwork required for all french citizen to get married at the mauritian office takes so long, that my visa will run out and I might not be allowed to come back before next year.

A lawyer we contacted is looking into what can be done perhaps without beeing married. At the end, there could be a document called a Commom Law Partner Certificate, we are looking into getting that paper issued. In parallele,  we are  preparing all documents to get married asap in case that doesnt work. I will let you know for future reference.

Wandlewed, the process will aslo be very long in Reunion Island, as they  aslo require all the french paperworks.

For info, here  is the list they gave us lately regarding the docs needed:
