Hello! There are a few good private hospitals here as well as government hospitals, but it's a known fact that if you need serious medical treatment, Reunion, France or South Africa are your best bets. I was lucky as I had knee surgery, and the island happens to have one of France's best Orthopedic surgeons right here. Otherwise there are some very good doctors in all regions of Mauritius.

Hi Pat. Thanks for your lovely comment. There are some fairly good health plans here and the two main hospitals are Darne and Wellkin.

Good luck with your move over here.

Hi Lucy. Been watching loads of your videos now.. thank you so much for making them! It's making our decision to move to Mauritius a very informed one :-) In a thread below, you mentioned the new 1 Year Visa; is this the new "Premium Visa"? Which seems to be aimed at digital nomads/remote workers? Because we are considering our move to Mauritius with our 2 children (1 adult child aged 22 and our 12 yr old) and my husband works remotely for a large multinational company. So we'd likely be applying for this visa and wondered if you knew anything about it..? Also; my son is currently home-schooled here in the UK and we'd like to continue this. I got conflicting reports for a while but think I have managed to confirm that home-schooling IS possible so long as we enrol him in an accredited online school eg Cambrilearn. Do you have any experience with this or know anyone on Mauritius who is home-schooling? Lastly; my son and my husband absolutely LOVE basketball! Do you know if there are any basketball clubs/courts/sports centres around on the island? My husband coaches the local basketball team here and he'd love to continue with this. Thank you.
@LucyLeheilleix

Hello! Thanks for the comment! Yes it is possible to home school. As you say, best to go with an accredited online school. The premium visa is a great way to get a taste of island life and then decide later how you would like to proceed. Basketball is available in many of the schools and gyms. Perhaps a question for mauritius in motion on Facebook? Do email me if you need further assistance 😀

Hi Lauren. Mauritius has a lot of street dogs, but there are people who are trying to curb the problem and who offer shelters and sterilisation programmes. It took me a long time to get used to seeing homeless dogs on virtually every street corner. It is possible to bring your dogs here (we have a dog) but it does require time and effort. The people at the quarantine in Reduit were so lovely....and yes, dogs are absolutely allowed on beaches :)

Here dogs are allowed to run around fee (I guess because there are so many strays). Some people walk with sticks incase they come across a feisty stray. There are loads and loads of dogs here. I wish more had forever homes.

I don’t know about Nigeria’s cost of living compared to here, but if you look at Europe, there are things here that are on par or more expensive (like cars, food and private healthcare). Mauritius is definitely not a cheap place. Tax has just been hiked up from 15% to 25%.

Hi - Excellent informative video. You have gained a subscriber. I would be interested to know in general where do most of the expats (ie those that spend a few months a year or those that may spend all year there) in Mauritius come from? I know there are many South Africans but are there many Europeans? If so, in general where to they come from? Would it be a good place to practice French ie do many people speak it in reality or is it mostly Creole and English?

Hi Ross, Thanks for supporting the channel. Regarding your question, there are mostly South Africans, French, Russians and British people living here, but of course I also know of Americans and Australians too (and people from other countries). The main languages spoken here are French, Creole and English. My experience here is that speaking a bit of French and Creole goes a long way :) All of the best to you!

Hi Zermorah. I don't think it would be too difficult to find work as a surgical assistant. It's not my field, so you'd have to find out. The main hospitals are Wellkin and Darne, both in central Mauritius. Cost of living here is very high as everything is Euro / Dollarized and rent is high (as is food as it's mostly imported). Good luck :)

Hi Lucy, great vlog, thanks. We're looking at moving to Mauritius from S.Africa because of the usual reasons. Is the island also suitable for retirees? Looking at housing to buy: it's noticeable that more reasonably-priced properties are for Mauritians only.. How much would a couple in their 60's need to live/month? On the pet relocation forms I noticed Boerboels are not wanted! :-( I guess because it's safe one doesn't need protection from your home pets. I was there once in the 90's, have good memories. My wife's never been so we need to take a look, but it's so hard to find out when normal travel will be possible again. Any (insider) info on the situation for December or January?

Hi there! You are right, local properties are vastly cheaper than for expats. Now with the new tax rate, this will have to change or many people will leave. Mauritius is an expensive place to live, so I expect the government will try to salvage the situation (and with covid) bring out more attractive offerings (like the new one year visa). Every household is different, so I can’t tell you what your budget needs to be. This also greatly depends where you live. They are strict with importing dogs, best speak to Mr Hurry: 23052568113 All of the best.
