Ann, may I ask, do you have any difficulty regarding a 180 day stay? Specifically, do you automatically get 90 days to start at the airport, then have to apply for an extension later? I'm not interested in jumping through hoops in order to live ... Read More
Real general info from a Mauritian by Lena23
Hi guys, You all must be really mad..to be worried about earning 35000/40000 MUR and to live in Mauritius with partner and kid/s. People in Mauritius standard salary is between 8000 MUR and 10 000 MUR. How do you think families are managing with ...

I feel the same way Sarah. My children are grown and I'm on my own now but before I move to another country I have to believe I'll be able to do things like sign a lease or buy things I'll need for more than a short term stay. When I leave the U.S. ... Read More

Stormtrooper, I was reading through the posts on animals and noticed your difficulty with giving pills to cats. There is a tool we just called a pill popper that is like a straw inside a straw with a piece of rubber tube on one end. The rubber tube ... Read More

Can anyone tell me the best way to transfer money from Barclays uk to Mcb Mauritius just would like to know if I can save a few pounds if I have 4500 pounds .
That sounds good to me too. I forget about credit cards but prepaid or regular credit cards should be easy enough to use in Mauritius if the vendor accepts them. The card company would charge 3% to take cash out though. I don't know if the bank ... Read More
