Mauritius Introduces Premium Travel Visa for Long Stays

Mauritius has introduced a Premium Travel Visa which is free of charge for a period of one year (renewable) as a possible alternative to mitigate the risk of being exposed since Mauritius is considered as being Covid-Safe.

 

While a number of European countries are presently in lockdown and winter season is around the corner, Mauritius is an ideal destination to consider for the coming months. It allows expatriates to reside on the island over a period of more than three months, or to run their existing business remotely after completing a 14-day compulsory quarantine stay. The aim of the quarantine period is to help preserving the status of Mauritius COVID-Safe destination.

Any person from the list of countries identified by the Economic Development Board such as France, South Africa, Spain, Greece, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Uganda, United Kingdom, Botswana , Gabon, Japan, China, USA, Italy, Kenya, Hong Kong among others.
