Overview
Mauritius Residency is a government-authorised residency by investment programme that grants residence permit in exchange for a qualifying investment in the country. It is regulated by the government's investment authority and administered through licensed advisers such as Mirabello Consultancy. Minimum investment starts from $375,000.
Mauritius grants residency from a USD 375,000 real-estate investment, with renewal tied to property ownership. It pairs lifestyle appeal with a favourable tax regime and is popular with internationally mobile families.
The Mauritius residency routes grant renewable residence to non-citizens through property or business investment, in a stable, low-tax Indian Ocean jurisdiction. The outcome is a residence permit, not a passport; naturalisation is a separate, later step, generally after seven years of continuous residence, or five for Commonwealth citizens [].
The two anchor thresholds are a property purchase from USD 375,000 in an approved scheme (such as the PDS, Property Development Scheme, or a Smart City project), which grants residence for the holder and family, and a USD 50,000 ten-year Occupation Permit for investors, with a USD 100,000 variant and a self-employed route also available []. Duties, government fees and business-turnover conditions apply and are time-sensitive, so confirm the current figures with the Economic Development Board before relying on them.
Interpretive analysis based on official sources, not legal or tax advice: Mauritius suits investors who want a stable, English and French-speaking base with a light tax footprint and a genuine property market, rather than the fastest route to a strong passport. The Occupation Permit's renewal depends on real business activity, so it rewards those actually operating in or from Mauritius.
On the Mirabello Investment Migration Index Mauritius scores well on tax and stability. Investors often compare it with the Greece Golden Visa and Gulf routes such as the UAE Golden Visa. Every figure is provenance-tracked and confirmed against the Economic Development Board Mauritius and the Mauritius Revenue Authority. This is information, not advice; a Mirabello specialist confirms the current terms for your circumstances.
