Expat.com
The go-to site on expatriation in general.
What really helped us was the special Mauritius Expatriate Guide! This free guide, updated every year, was very useful for my first year in Mauritius.
You’ll find basic information on all kinds of topics: cost of living, driving, telephony, moving…

N26: A very practical bank account
As a customer of this German neo-bank, I use my debit card very regularly in Mauritius to make payments, as there is NO FEE at all.
This allows me to benefit from the advantageous exchange rate at the moment (EUR > MUR).
Please note that N26 uses the Mastercard exchange rate and does not add any extra charges. The transaction is immediate on the mobile application.
Withdrawals are also free if you have a premium account. Otherwise, it will be 1.7% commission per withdrawal.

In need of a return plane ticket?
That’s it, you are going to settle in Mauritius, congratulations! But have you planned everything? You are returning under a tourist visa but have you planned your return trip? This ticket is obligatory when you enter Mauritian territory with a tourist visa, even if you are taking steps to emigrate to the island.
→ My solution :
BestOnwardTicket: $12 / billet / personne
OneFlyTicket: $16 / billet / personne
Legitimate ticket that entitles you to a pass through airport customs! No need to buy a full-price return ticket 💸
Useful sites when in Mauritius

The site is very user-friendly.
If you’re looking for a job as an employee, here are a few sites I recommend:
Here’s the local version of The Craiglist in Mauritius: WeShare.mu
Widely used here, I also recommend going to Facebook Marketplace, where you’ll find a huge number of ads.
