Study in Mauritius
Mauritius offers British, Australian and French degrees at a fraction of what the same degree costs in those countries. Classes are in English, the Indian community is large, and living costs are close to those of an Indian metro. As Mauritius study visa consultants in Chandigarh, Rede Overseas helps Indian students with admission and the student visa.
Mauritius student visa for Indian students
Indian citizens need a student visa to join a full-time course in Mauritius. The application is made through your institution to the Passport and Immigration Office before you travel. You cannot enter as a tourist and convert to a student visa inside the country, so the visa must be approved first.
