Lebanese nationals can pursue a Mauritius residence permit through approved property or an investor route. This page sets out the routes, timeline and indicative costs, and points you to the official source.
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.
Mauritius opens its residence routes to foreign nationals who can meet the qualifying investment and pass due diligence. We did not find a published rule that excludes Lebanese nationals from the programme. Confirm whether any nationality specific condition applies to you with the Economic Development Board before you commit funds.
All applicants are expected to show clean source of funds, a clear background and a transfer of the qualifying amount from outside Mauritius. The main applicant can usually include a spouse, dependent children and dependent parents.
The most used route is the purchase of property under an approved scheme such as the Property Development Scheme, the Integrated Resort Scheme, the Real Estate Scheme, the Smart City Scheme or the G+2 apartment category. Buying qualifying property at or above the published threshold can lead to a residence permit for the owner and family.
An alternative is the investor route, where you invest in or run a Mauritian company. Confirm the current investor thresholds and conditions with the Economic Development Board, since they differ from the property route.
Research points to a typical processing window of about 2 to 6 months from submission to the Economic Development Board, after approval in principle and completion of the investment. Treat this as indicative and confirm current timings with the authority.
The headline figure is the qualifying property purchase. Government and professional fees sit on top. Use the table as a starting point and verify every figure with the official authority before acting.
