Following the budget for 2025 to 2026 and the Finance Act that enacted it, registration duty on residential property bought through approved Economic Development Board schemes was reported to rise to a higher rate on these acquisitions.
A previously available option that allowed a property purchase anywhere in Mauritius at a higher investment threshold was reported to be discontinued. The main residence by investment route continues through approved real estate schemes.
As of 2026 the framework is administered by the Economic Development Board. Residence is commonly obtained by acquiring qualifying property in an approved scheme above a set minimum, with a renewable permit while the investment is held. Separate occupation and self employed permits with their own thresholds also exist.
Retirement and other permit categories carry their own transfer and income conditions under the updated rules. Because figures shifted with the Finance Act, confirm the current minimum, duty and conditions with the official authority before acting.
