Hi Sara

I can refer to a management company who can advise you on opening of bank accounts in Mauritius. Should you require my assistance, do send me a direct message. Have a nice day ahead.

Hi Sara, I notice there are HSBC branches in Kenya. If you open an account there, must be a Premium account, you can then contact HSBC in Mauritius (in Port Louis) and they will help you to open an HSBC Mauritius account while you are still in Kenya. This is by far the easiest way to get a bank account in Mauritius. If you wait until you are here it is still theoretically possible before getting your residency permit, and people do do it, but it can be very frustrating and take a long time

@andrew9799 the new budget has new rules regarding opening a bank account for expats. Please check.

@Adam.Sara

Hello, Easiest way to open聽 a bank account is to go to the bank with you occupation permit and request them to open a bank account for you. There are other papers which they are going to ask like a proof of identity and proof of address. Most common bank is MCB.
