Hi there!

Once one has become a permanent resident in Mauritius, what type of passport are you issued with? French?

You keep your own聽 passport when you become permanent resident (PR).

PR does not entitle you to Mauritian citizenship - this is another lengthy exercise and not easy to come by.

BTW/FYI: Mauritius is an independent nation with its own passport聽 - it is not a territory of France

As a permanent resident , he IS NOT issued a Mauritian passport since he won't be a聽 Mauritian citizen. He will have a permit to reside on the island as much as he pleases.
