Hi everyone,
Every year, we invite expats who are living in Mauritius to share their experience and tell us more about the average price of products and services in their town, city or area, so that we can help future expats planning to settle in Mauritius.
We would like to thank you in advance for your contribution.
Regarding accommodation, how much does it cost to rent or buy an apartment or a house in Mauritius?
How much do you pay on average for public transport (bus, subway, train, tram, taxi)?
How much does it cost to fill up your car's fuel tank?
Concerning your food expenses : how much do you pay for basic food items such as rice, bread, and pasta? What is the average price of your monthly food shopping?
How much does it cost to have health insurance? How much for a health specialist's consultation in Mauritius?
How much does childcare cost on average per month? What about school fees?
How much do you pay for electricity, gas, water, internet, mobile's subscription etc., per month?
