Retirement in Mauritius. Tip #1 Safety & Security
There are many countries in the world where you would never dream of walking along the beach with expensive things on you, like cameras and telephones.
But here in Mauritius, on every single beach that I've walked on, and every single street that I've walked on, to be honest with you, I've never felt a moment of insecurity or danger.
Now, needless to say, I'm also fairly sensible. I don't walk the streets at midnight drunk, and I really don't drive too much at night either.
But not for a second have I experienced any feeling of, “I've got to be careful. I've got to grab onto my telephone. I've got to hold onto my camera.” And for me, that gives a level of comfort, peace, and security that I haven't really felt in a very long time.
If you require legal, tax, accounting, corporate, banking, property, immigration or wealth planning advice relating to Mauritius or South Africa, you're welcome to contact the author Scott Oliver privately. Scott has built relationships with a carefully selected network of experienced independent professionals in both Mauritius and many African countries, including respected lawyers, accountants, tax specialists, bankers, fiduciary providers, immigration consultants and property professionals with established reputations and proven track records. Where appropriate, he may be pleased to introduce you to an independent professional whose experience best matches your particular circumstances and objectives. Any engagement, advice or professional relationship is entirely between you and the independent professional you choose to appoint.
I should point out that I've lived for the past 25 years in Central America, in Guatemala and Costa Rica, so it is a very different environment there. But as I look at the news coming out of Europe, and the continued problems of forced integration with undesirable groups, I feel very blessed to be living in Mauritius.
And I think you would too.
