Mauritius offers a residence route for foreign investors who buy qualifying property through an approved scheme. Brazilian nationals can apply on the same basis as most other investors from outside Mauritius. This page sets out the current position so you can plan.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Brazilians are eligible. There is no reported nationality bar, so Brazilian nationals apply on the same terms as most other foreign investors. The main applicant should be at least 18, hold a clean criminal record and show that the investment funds come from a lawful source.
Applicants generally provide a valid passport, a police clearance from their country of nationality and from any country of residence in the preceding ten years, and supporting documents on the source of funds. Confirm the live eligibility list with the Economic Development Board.
The headline route is the purchase of residential property worth at least USD 375,000 within a government approved scheme. Qualifying schemes include the Property Development Scheme, the Integrated Resort Scheme, the Real Estate Scheme and the Smart City Scheme. Buying property on the open market does not qualify.
There are also separate permit routes for investors, professionals and retired foreign nationals that carry their own thresholds and conditions. Confirm the route that fits your plans, and the current minimum, with the Economic Development Board before committing any money.
Processing time moves with document readiness and application volume. Plan for the property transaction to complete first, then for the residence permit to follow once the purchase is registered. Confirm the current service standard with the official authority. There is no published minimum stay to keep this residence valid, but those who later pursue citizenship must show continuous ordinary residence over the qualifying period.
Use the figures below as a starting point only. Legal work, registration duty, taxes and due diligence sit on top of the qualifying property price. Confirm every current amount with the official authority.

|---|---|---|
| Qualifying property purchase | From USD 375,000 | Within an approved scheme. Confirm the current minimum with the Economic Development Board |
| Government permit processing | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | The Economic Development Board has stated it does not charge a processing fee for the permit |
| Legal, registration and due diligence | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Registration duty, notary and advisory costs apply on top of the property price |
