INTRODUCTION
Mauritius is a small state with an island located in the southwestern part of the Indian Ocean.
The island has a fairly acceptable climate: summer all year round. In addition, there are very friendly people who speak different languages, a kind of exotic cuisine and truly heavenly beaches.

In order to communicate freely, it is not at all necessary to know all the variety of languages, it will be enough to be fluent in English. To travel, you must obtain a visa to Mauritius.
It will be especially difficult for migrants at the very beginning. They will need to learn the local dialect, get used to the customs and rules on the island, and make connections. Well, after foreign citizens receive a residence permit and work here for some time, they will have prospects for professional growth.

Rest with children deserves attention. In order to be able to always buy diapers and food for children, including baby food, it is advisable to settle in cities.
Working in Mauritius
Finding a job in Mauritius in 2018 is much more difficult for migrants than for locals. The island becomes attractive due to the low crime rate. This makes it the safest place on earth. Thanks to the high standard of living on the island, health workers and special organizations manage to prevent the development of epidemics.
Among the specialties for which foreign citizens are taken are:

A number of medical centers, private hospitals and clinics employ foreigners. In addition to special education, they are almost always required to know English or French. As a rule, the conversational level is sufficient in many cases.
In addition to the above specialties, in Mauritius, you can get a job as a guide at one of the travel agencies. There are also plantation sites. While agricultural work is considered more difficult, it pays well.

How to get Mauritius citizenship?
If you have a Mauritian passport, you can travel even without a visa. In addition to the Schengen countries, it is possible to get a visa and travel to New Zealand, China, Chile, and even South Africa. And it is quite possible to apply for a visa for Australia through communication via the Internet.
And it is strongly discouraged to believe the information posted on the Internet, which states the opposite.
In fact, obtaining Mauritian citizenship involves the renunciation of all other passports and other nationalities. However, there are two interpretations in the legislation, based on which the minister can, at his discretion, bypass some provisions. But the state definitely does not approve of dual citizenship in any case.
The grounds for obtaining a passport and obtaining citizenship are as follows:
- Adoption of a child by persons with Mauritian citizenship;
- When land is included in the island;
- Marriage with the indigenous people or citizens of a given country. You must have lived in marriage for at least 4 years;
- Naturalization, which takes 6 years to live in Mauritius. In addition, you must be fluent in English.
