Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!What is an EDB Occupation Permit?
An EDB Occupation Permit is a combined work and residence permit that lets a foreign national legally work and live in Mauritius. It is issued by the Economic Development Board (EDB) under the Economic Development Board Act and the Immigration Act, with the residence component verified by the Passport & Immigration Office (PIO).
Most occupation permits for investors, professionals and self-employed applicants are now issued for up to 10 years and are renewable. Getting the category, documents and financial criteria right the first time is what separates a smooth approval from months of delays — and that is exactly where our occupation permit services come in.
