Mauritius residence by property investment is open to foreign buyers of any nationality, so Filipino nationals can apply on the same basis as others. The route is administered by the Economic Development Board.
Applicants buy a qualifying property in an approved scheme and submit an application to the Economic Development Board. Approval depends on a clean record and on the property meeting the minimum value, so confirm your eligibility with the authority.
The main route is the purchase of residential property in an approved scheme, which include the Property Development Scheme, the Integrated Resort Scheme and other approved structures. Buying at or above the minimum value grants a residence permit that lasts while you own the property. Confirm the approved schemes with the Economic Development Board.
Processing is reported at around two to six months from submission of a complete application to the Economic Development Board. Times vary with the scheme and document quality, so confirm current timelines with the official authority.
The minimum qualifying property investment is reported at USD 375,000 in an approved scheme. Non refundable processing fees are reported at MUR 10,000 for the IRS and RES schemes and MUR 20,000 for the Property Development Scheme.
Budget also for taxes, notary and registration costs on top of the property price. Treat all figures as indicative and confirm the current schedule with the Economic Development Board.
