Mauritius is the latest upmarket tourist destination eyeing long-stay remote workers. It is offering long-term visas for digital nomads as it says tourism numbers will lag pre-pandemic levels for up to four years.
“We are looking for digital nomads, who can plug in and start working from anywhere in the world,” said Nilen Vencadasmy, chairman of the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority.
About 2,000 applications for the premium long-stay visa have been approved, Vencadasmy said. Since reopening, Vencadasmy said the average length of stay has already increased from 10 nights before Covid to 15 now.
