Mauritius offers residence to foreign nationals who buy qualifying property within an approved development scheme. Applications are handled by the Economic Development Board, which oversees the approved schemes.
Only property inside designated schemes qualifies. Buying on the open market does not. Treat this page as an outline and confirm the current threshold and rules with the official authority.
The headline route is the purchase of qualifying residential property within an approved scheme. Public reporting describes a minimum purchase of 375,000 US dollar to obtain residence linked to home ownership.
Other investment and occupation routes into Mauritius residence exist with their own thresholds and conditions. Confirm which routes are open and their current minimums with the Economic Development Board.
Public reporting describes review by the Economic Development Board taking a number of weeks, with the overall process commonly running from about two to six months. Confirm current processing times with the official authority.
The property purchase is the main commitment, alongside government, registration and professional costs that sit on top. See the table and confirm the current amounts with the official source.
Residence linked to qualifying home ownership can extend to a spouse and dependants under the programme rules, and lasts while the qualifying property is held. It is a residence route. Any later path to long term status follows separate Mauritian rules to verify independently.
