CBRIS Company Registration in Mauritius
Complete guide to registering your company on the Companies and Businesses Registration Integrated System (CBRIS), securing your Business Registration Number (BRN), and preparing for your NELS Occupation Permit application.
Before you can submit an EDB Occupation Permit application as an Investor or Self-Employed foreign national via NELS Mauritius, your company must be legally incorporated. The Registrar of Companies issues your Business Registration Number (BRN) through CBRIS, which is a mandatory required upload on NELS.
