Port Louis - Post Report Question and Answers
What types of jobs do most expatriate spouses/partners have? Locally based or telecommuting? Full-time or part-time? Can you comment on local salary scales?
The expats who seem to be doing well here are ones who came with money and made significant investments or started their own business. Expats and spouses who come looking for a decent 9 to 5 will not be compensated at a level they think appropriate to their education and skills. There is supposedly an EPAP position coming to the Embassy, but I'm not holding my breath as I'm sure other African posts will get priority. - Jun 2014
Yes, but it takes some leg work. Visa problems for Embassy spouses has largely been resolved. But be prepared to provide any and all necessary paperwork to back up your credentials -- especially if you are looking for a job as a teacher or medical professional. - Feb 2009
