Visa support

Laws in Mauritius require all non-national students to obtain a residence permit (study visa) for the duration of their studies. Middlesex University Mauritius assists students during the visa application process for studying on any of our academic programmes.

The procedure for applying for a residence permit cannot commence until you have accepted our offer of admission, cleared all academic conditions (if any), submitted medicals and paid your tuition fee deposit. Once we receive all your documents, we will apply at the Passport and Immigration Office for a provisional entry permit on your behalf. The process usually takes approximately 21 days. You are advised to apply and pay as early as possible if you require a residence permit.

Applying for a residence permit

Airport Transfer

Middlesex University Mauritius offers a student experience with a difference! We offer a complimentary airport pick-up service for all international students arriving in Mauritius. We want to ensure our students have a smooth and safe arrival to their new home.

Medical Guidance

It is compulsory for all international students to be covered by medical insurance, the cost is included in the fees.

On arrival

Health officials from the Ministry of Health will perform a malaria test on campus for all international students arriving from the Africa region within their first week and every time they enter Mauritius.

Within the first month, all new international students must undergo medical tests at a local medical laboratory (cost to be borne by the student) and submit the results and your new address for the University to apply for their Residence Permit. Once you have received the Residence Permit, then only you can open a Mauritian bank account.

Pre-Arrival Support

We have a welcome guide specifically designed for international students. This will be emailed to you along with the Provisional Entry Permit. The guide contains useful information about preparing for studying abroad and what to expect when you arrive.

This guide covers topics such as general information about Mauritius and accommodation options, arranging medical insurance, part-time work and also guidance on what to bring with you.
