Q. What is the remuneration for the Alumno Astralis student ?
A. Our experience in Mauritius is that companies tend to give a remuneration. In Mauritius, due to visa regulations, students will have to sign a statement that they do not get involved in gainful activities. However, companies tend to pay a stipend to cover expenses. In Mauritius, we aim for your housing, travel expenses and daily lunch expenses to be reimbursed. However, this cannot be guaranteed since it is up to the discretion of the individual companies.

A. We can indicate that a student will have to take into consideration an amount of 585 euro for organizing the placement, the housing and the residence permit in Mauritius. Please be aware that we may charge a last minute fee in case we start our work for you less than 6 weeks before the start of your internship, so please do not leave it too late, also in view of the Residence Permit that you will require. Moreover, you will have to budget for your return flight, your housing and your insurances. Please note, that we have a special arrangement with British Airways, for European students so that you can have a good deal for your flight London - Mauritius with connecting flights to Amsterdam, Dusseldorf and other European cities.
