    Mauritius is not expensive if you know what and where to buy. How locals are living? Electricity with a family of 4, costs Rs 2000 (that's include two Tvs and 2 aircons running at night) Rs 10K is exagerating, not sure what they are doing at night. Water bill costs rs 300.... Food, no need to buy foreign ones, but the local ones etc..

    Very good info. From my personal experience a cyclone type 1, 2, or 3, is really not a big deal. Just a lot of clean up afterward. A class 4 is a different story. Out of curiosity, since most cyclones in Mauritius tend to hit east to west, have you noticed a difference in the damages on the east coast versus the west coast?

    Having visited the island four times since 2001, I have been in July, August, October and April….on the whole for me it’s the start of their summer is best….not too humid, nice and toasty…..last trip was a few weeks ago, it was very humid, and many flowers were past their best, sea was warm mind, so it’s horses for courses, I would say, it comes down to location, very windy Belle Mare Plage, but much calmer at La Pirogue….if you want cold, miserable wet…then try Curepipe in mid winter…..it is like home from home…..but pleasant in summer…lovely videos, thank you.

    Hi there, I don't understand what's the point for people that want to apply for the Retirement Visa of investing without getting anything out of it, being a salary or whatever...How does that work? I assume they get some compensation out of it otherwise why investing?

    • @LucyLeheilleix
      @LucyLeheilleix Місяць тому

      The retirement visa allows one to live in Mauritius as a resident. An investment is different as via property procurement one can stay but not work, or via a business one can stay and work. What one gets out of these visas is being able to reside in a country or own property with low tax benefits.
