Mauritius opens its property linked residence route to foreign buyers of most nationalities, including Turkish nationals, with no bar specific to Turkey in the published rules. Applicants pass background checks and buy in a government approved development scheme.
Buying on the open market does not by itself qualify. The property must sit within a designated scheme. Confirm the current eligibility, approved schemes and document list with the Economic Development Board before you act.
The main route grants a residence permit to a buyer who purchases qualifying property at or above the set minimum within an approved scheme. The permit lasts as long as you hold the property, and can extend to immediate family under one investment.
Mauritius also runs other residence routes such as occupation and retirement permits with their own conditions. Check which route fits your situation.
Applications are filed with the Economic Development Board, which carries out background checks and approval in principle before the permit issues. Reported processing varies and depends on document readiness. Treat any figure as indicative and confirm with the authority.
The route centres on the qualifying property price within an approved scheme, with processing fees on top. Use the table as an indicative guide and verify the current figures with the authority.
