Mauritius : french/english spoken
Remittance basis scheme.
No capital gain tax even if remitted.
Lots of
residency programs (investor,
self-employed, retiree, real estate investors, visa premium)
Same climate and way of life than lots of caraibbean islands (where I lived too) but with differences :
- cost of living not really high (food, real estate, services)
- mauritians are generally "friendly" even with foreigners
- lots of expats (frenchs, britishs, south africans...) and therefore european shops/products
- lots of different cultures and religions
- medium island, not a tiny island like St-Barth or Malta (where I lived too)
- hurricane risk lower than caraibbean islands
- safer even if there is a big gap between richs and poors like in the caribbean too
main disadvantage: far from all (europe, asia, america)
