Indian nationals can obtain a Mauritian residence permit by buying qualifying residential property under an approved scheme. This page sets out the position and the official source.

Mauritius opens property based residence to foreign buyers, and Indian nationals can apply. A residence permit is granted to a buyer who acquires qualifying residential property under an approved Economic Development Board scheme at or above the set threshold.
Dependants, including a spouse, children and parents, can usually be included. Confirm the current eligibility and document list with the official authority.
The headline route is the purchase of qualifying residential property under an approved scheme such as the Property Development Scheme, the Integrated Resort Scheme, the Real Estate Scheme, a Smart City project or an integrated housing project. A buyer at or above the threshold receives a residence permit linked to the property.
Separate occupation and investor permit routes exist for those setting up or investing in a business, with different thresholds. Confirm the current schemes and amounts with the official authority.
The residence permit linked to a qualifying purchase is reported to be issued within a few months of the property transaction. The permit is reported to run for ten years and to be renewable for further periods while the property is held.
Confirm the current processing time and the permit duration with the official authority.
The main cost is the qualifying property purchase. Registration duty and land transfer tax apply, and these are reported to rise for foreign buyers from July 2026, so timing affects the total. Professional fees sit on top.
