Work & Living Opportunity in Mauritius

Hi Jamice,
kabayaan and Mabuhay!!!
I am an Indian now living in Mauritius for almost 4 months. I used to work for PAL once and I speak fluent tagalog. If you check the previous post you can get all the information you need. There are no Filipino Schools and no Filipino community. There are Cambridge English Level schools and your child should do fine. Mostly every one in Mauritius speak English and you will enjoy living in this island as it resembles some of your islands in Phil. There are very few Filipinos in Mauritius and there is a Baptish church with English service and some Filipinos are part of it. I can give you the contact number of those Filipinos so that you can call them for more info.

Let me know if you cannot find any info that is not available in the previous posts.

Hi,

you should have a look to the Mauritius expat guide, it might help

As Terence said (thanks ) you should have a look to the other discussions in the Mauritius forum

All the best,

Julien

Please let me know their contact details.  Thanks.  By the way, where are you working now?

Hi Julien and Terrence,  I just want to ask if there is any Bowling arena there?

Hello Jamice,
I recently asked the same question about a bowling arena in the French forum, but unfortunately never got any replys. So I suppose there is none.
Just out of curiosity, which is the company of your husband? I used to go quite often to Bahrain to "breathe" when we were in Khobar (KSA)!!! and hé, my daughter-in-law is also Philippina (she will very soon be working in Dubai (coming from KSA also).
Welcome
Arlette

Hi Jamice,

I will PM you the contact details. As for me I am working as a General Manager for an Inbound and outbound tourism company.

I heard about one bowling in Curepipe, Manhattan, but I don't know if it's open or not ...

You should also have a look to the other discussions in the Mauritius forum, we've already answered to almost all your questions (wow your list is quite long)

Hi Arlette,

My husband is working with Saudi Designers based in Bahrain.  He is the IT Administrator there.  I was once in Dubai for 3 mos but I finally settled here in Bahrain then suddenly an opportunity going in Mauritius opened up.  So we are still trying to find good information that will help us in decision making.  Are you currently working in Mauritius?

Hi guys,

Just want to inquire if there is any Fitness First Gym or any other fitness centre?

There are plenty of GYM's and fitness centre. I am too a member of a GYM. Mauritius is not a backward country and you will get whatever you want over here except for your Filipino community and Filipino food.

1) You can get a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom villa almost anywhere on the island.Location will drive price. closer to the beach more expensive. I would recommend Tamarin, Black River, Flic N Flac.

2) Cars are expensive. Be ready to pay for a new very compact car 600,000 Rs. Used cars are still expensive.

3) Most private schools are Bristish Standard. No American Standard that I'm aware of. My friend started a private school Level 1, 2 based the best mixture of education.

4) No

5) 15% Flat tax

6) Your work permit will cover your dependants.

7) Not going to happen. You could apply for an occupation permit for your nanny. You will have to set her salary at 30,000 Rs minimum per month to apply for permit.
She could come maybe for 3 to 6 months and fly back for a couple weeks.

8) Supermarkets are around. Europes and America markets are better stocked.

9) As an Expact you should ask for at least 45,000 to 75,000 Rs per month. The average worker in Mauritius is around 6000Rs per month. But most workers do not have to pay for housing(inherited) and a car. In order to get a OC permit
the salary must be a minimum of 30,000 Rs.

10) We have a church in the north I belong to. But there are over 50 Christian churches in Mauritius. There is a great one in the south.

well  i just want to  come  over but ho  can  i join you  guys  am from uganda

Does anyone have any information on Game Theorem?
I am negotiating with them for a possible developer position.

Thank you.

Great. If you have additional information of any kind please forward it to me at mlatiolais(at)satx.rr.com.

I will not share your information with anyone. I am simply trying to obtain as much information as I can to assist me in making this important decision.

ML > We are on the same boat i guess. Even I'm in the midst of negotiations for a position at Game theorem....I've got very limited info on the company from the web....let's see what comes up....
