The School (Le Bocage) wanted a student visa for one of the boys. Everything looked easy and the embassy told us what to submit for a student visa.<br /> After a lot of work, letter writing, appeals and so on the student visa application was finally turned down by the Prime Ministers office. So, unless you parents have a work visa, do not listen to what anybody will tell you. There is no possibility to get a student visa for children of parents with tourist visas. Safe yourself work and aggrevation!<br /> You may be able to find a private school which does not ask for a student visa for your child. <img src="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" border="0" /> It is dangerous for the school though. <br /> <br /> P.S. Nobody knows why there is no possiblity for guest students http://www.alloexpat.com/mauritius_expat_forum/viewtopic.php?p=3550#3550 Mim Sun Feb 01, 2009 7:10 am http://www.alloexpat.com/mauritius_expat_forum/viewtopic.php?p=3550#3550
