What the morning covers
What you’ll actually walk out knowing
- Banking. How to open an account as a non-resident, what the banks want to see, and what trips South Africans up.
- Residency and permits. The routes that exist, which one tends to fit which situation, and what the process really takes.
- Property. Buying versus renting, which developments qualify for what, and what the market looks like right now.
- Tax. How the South African and Mauritian sides interact, and what you need to have thought about before you move rather than after.
- Business setup. What’s involved in running a company from Mauritius, and who it suits.
- The practical stuff. Schools, medical cover, shipping your household, bringing your car, bringing your dog.
You won’t get financial or legal advice in the room. You’ll get straight answers from licensed people about what’s involved, and the chance to arrange a proper conversation with whichever of them is relevant to you.

The one-on-ones
Thirty minutes with the one who matters
Most people come with one problem that’s bigger than the others. A permit question, a property question, a “can I actually afford this” question.
After the presentations, you can book a free thirty-minute session with any presenter, in person on the day or by video call at a time that works for you both. You tell us who you’d like to speak to when you apply.
Apply for a seat
I keep these rooms small and I screen who comes, because the value of the morning depends on everyone there being serious about it.
Six questions, about ninety seconds. Most people get an answer immediately.

Let’s start with how to reach you
Common questions
A few things people ask first
Do I have to be certain about moving?+
No. Most people at these events are somewhere between seriously considering it and already packing. What we’re screening for is whether the morning will be useful to you, not whether you’ve made a decision.
What if I’m not accepted?+
You’ll get our relocation guide and we’ll keep you posted on future events. Timing is usually the reason, and timing changes.
Can I bring my partner?+
Yes, and you should. Apply separately so we have both sets of answers, or mention it in your application and we’ll sort it out.
Is this a sales pitch?+
The presenters are running businesses and they’d like your business. Nobody will be pressured into anything, and you can leave with a list of contacts and nothing else.
What if I can’t make this date?+
Apply anyway and say so. We run these in clusters and there’s usually another one.
Will I get financial or immigration advice?+
Not from Evolve. We introduce you to licensed people who can advise you properly, in a private conversation, about your own situation.
