About this Visa
This visa is for international graduates who finished university in Mauritius. You can live and work in Mauritius for up to 3 years after graduation. It combines a work permit and residence permit in one—you get permission to work AND live there at the same time. This visa is special because it is designed specifically for international students graduating from Mauritian universities. You must have a confirmed job offer before you apply. The job must be in fields like AI, technology, finance, or biotechnology. This visa is different because it requires you to have already studied in Mauritius. You cannot apply from abroad. Once you graduate, you have 6 months to secure a job and apply.
