Mauritius grants residence to foreign nationals who buy qualifying property under an approved scheme. Egyptian nationals apply on the same terms as other foreign investors. This page explains the route and where to confirm the figures.
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.
There is no nationality bar that excludes Egyptian applicants. The residence permit by property investment is open to foreign nationals who buy in an EDB approved scheme and meet the source of funds and good character tests.
Applicants provide a police clearance certificate from their country of nationality and any country of residence over the preceding ten years. Confirm the documentary rules with the official authority before you commit.
The main property route requires the purchase of residential property under an EDB approved scheme at or above the set minimum. The permit is granted for as long as the investor keeps ownership of the property.
The permit extends to family dependants, which can include a spouse or partner, dependent children and, in defined cases, parents. Confirm who can be included with the official authority.
Reported processing time is about two to six months from submission of a complete application to the Economic Development Board.
The residence permit can open a path toward permanent residence and, in time, citizenship, subject to separate rules. Confirm these timelines with the official authority.
The dominant cost is the qualifying property, which is held as an asset rather than spent. A processing fee applies under the relevant scheme, and professional and conveyancing costs are separate. Use the table as a checklist and confirm each figure with the official authority.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Qualifying property investment | From about US$375,000 | EDB approved scheme |
| Processing fee | MUR 10,000 to MUR 20,000 | Varies by scheme |
| Professional and conveyancing costs | Varies by case | Set independently |
