Free checklistBangladesh to Mauritius: pre-departure checklist
If you want to go to Mauritius for work the legal way, check this list before you pay anyone.
The most important rule
Do not pay any large amount before independently verifying the job, employer, visa and payment terms. An agency licence alone does not prove its Mauritius job offer is genuine.

4. A message you can send the broker
Copy into WhatsApp or SMS
Before starting the Mauritius work permit process, I would like to confirm a few things: 1. What is the Mauritius employer's company name, address and registration number? 2. Can I verify the job offer and the signed contract? 3. Through which process will the Work permit (Ministry of Labour) + residence permit be applied for? 4. Will you give me the official application number or online proof I can verify? 5. What is the total cost, the step-by-step payment, and the refund terms if the visa fails? 6. Can you give references of workers from Bangladesh who went to Mauritius successfully through you? I will decide on payment only after verifying all information and the contract.
