🇲🇺Mauritius
Mauritius pairs Indian Ocean beaches with a stable economy, a free remote-work visa, and a genuinely multicultural, English- and French-speaking society. Life centers on the warm west and north coasts, where lagoons, hiking, and a relaxed pace replace big-city intensity. Internet is decent in towns, the food is superb, and a low income bar makes it one of the region's most accessible island bases.

The Premium Travel Visa
The Premium Travel Visa is free to apply for, valid one year and renewable, and aimed at remote workers and long-stay visitors earning income from abroad. You need proof of roughly $1,500/month, travel and health insurance, and accommodation plans. Processing is quick and online, and you must not enter the Mauritian labour market locally.
