Live & Work Remote in Mauritius

Nothing is predestined. The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.
Ralph Blum

In the last 12 months, many of us have learnt to adapt to very new ways of working, studying and even new ways of living. The experiences and lessons learned have allowed for growth and evolution of the way we think, do and act. The changes, small or radical, have led to opportunities lost BUT many more opportunities gained.

A new opportunity means a fresh start. It brings with it so many wonderful and exciting possibilities!

Mauritius, a spectacular little island nation lying off the eastern coast of Africa, could be exactly what you need for your new beginning. The Mauritius Premium Visa enables those who have been thinking about relocating to Mauritius, long-term, to kick-start the process.
