Hi Bhavna, let me add some crucila detail for the query above. As a teacher relocating from South Africa to Mauritius, you can apply for teaching jobs, but there are a few key factors to consider:


1. Work Permit and Visa Requirements

To work legally in Mauritius as a foreign teacher, you will need a work permit and a residence permit. These are typically arranged by the hiring school, but you must meet the following:


A valid teaching qualification (e.g., a degree in education, PGCE, or equivalent).

At least three years of teaching experience (some schools may require more).

A job offer from a registered school or institution in Mauritius.

Approval from the Ministry of Labour and Ministry of Education.

2. Recognition of South African Qualifications

If you have a South African teaching qualification (e.g., B.Ed or PGCE), it should generally be recognized in Mauritius, but some institutions may require an evaluation from the Mauritius Qualifications Authority (MQA).

Private international schools often accept foreign qualifications without issues.

Hi Liz,


We are also from South Africa and relocated to Mauritius last year. This is my advice to you regarding teaching in Mauritius:

Hallo Liz,


Ons is ook van Suid-Afrika en het verlede jaar na Mauritius verhuis. Dit is my raad aan jou oor onderrig in Mauritius:


As 'n onderwyser wat van Suid-Afrika na Mauritius verhuis, kan jy aansoek doen vir onderwysposte, maar daar is 'n paar belangrike dinge om in ag te neem:


Werkspermit en Visumvereistes

Om wettig in Mauritius as 'n buitelandse onderwyser te werk, het jy 'n werkspermit en 'n verblyfpermit nodig. Dit word gewoonlik deur die skool wat jou aanstel gereël, maar jy moet aan die volgende vereistes voldoen:


'n Geldige onderwyskwalifikasie (bv. B.Ed, PGCE, of ekwivalent).

Minstens drie jaar se onderwyservaring (sommige skole vereis meer).

'n Werksaanbod van 'n geregistreerde skool of instelling in Mauritius.

Goedkeuring van die Ministerie van Arbeid en Ministerie van Onderwys.

Erkenning van Suid-Afrikaanse Kwalifikasies


As jy 'n Suid-Afrikaanse onderwyskwalifikasie het (bv. B.Ed of PGCE), word dit gewoonlik in Mauritius erken, maar sommige instellings mag 'n evaluasie van die Mauritius Qualifications Authority (MQA) vereis.

Privaat internasionale skole aanvaar dikwels buitelandse kwalifikasies sonder probleme.
