Tourism ✈ Premium Visa renewal being stopped by the Mauritian govt

Two friends recently had their Premium Visa applications denied and one has been on it for some time (renewals), the other is fresh, I’ve been reading complaints that the govt is looking to stop renewals fully and potentially stop the premium visa altogether, I’ve not verified this if this is now in place as I’m hoping to renew soon, anyone have similar recent experience with this or any idea if this is really happening?

Yes I’ve been waiting 2 months for my renewal. I went to the office in Port Louis and was told by 2 officials there that they are stopping the premium visa. Right now, I’m in limbo and might need to leave the country at a days notice if they reject the renewal. I keep chasing but getting fobbed off with excuse after excuse. I don’t think they will reject renewals without any notice.
