Mauritius offers residence to foreign investors through property purchase schemes and through business and occupation permits, all processed by the Economic Development Board. This page explains how it applies to Pakistani nationals.
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.
The routes are open by nationality, so Pakistani nationals are not excluded as a class. Eligibility depends on the route. Property routes require an investment in an approved scheme. Business and occupation routes require a qualifying business, investment and activity.
All applicants are subject to checks on identity and source of funds. Confirm the current eligibility position for your route with the official authority.
There are two broad families of route. The first is residence through property, where buying a qualifying residential unit in an approved scheme at or above the set threshold supports a residence permit for you and your dependents. The second is the occupation or investor permit, where you set up and fund a business in Mauritius.
Holding qualifying status over time can open a path toward longer term and permanent residence under separate rules. Confirm the route that fits your plans with the official authority.
Processing time varies by route and by completeness of the file. The Economic Development Board publishes service standards for each permit. Treat any quoted timeline as indicative and confirm with the authority.
Thresholds differ by route. Indicative figures are shown below as of the date stated. Application and government fees apply in addition and should be confirmed with the official authority.
