Overview

Mauritius presents a unique opportunity for global investors and high-net-worth individuals to obtain permanent residency in a stable, prosperous, and scenic island nation. The Mauritius Residency Programmes, often called the Permanent Residence Permit, offer a pathway to a luxurious and convenient lifestyle. By investing in approved real estate or a local business, you and your family can access numerous benefits, including a high quality of life and an appealing tax regime. The initial investment requirement begins at USD 375,000 for a designated real estate purchase. This programme is tailored for those looking to diversify their assets and improve their lifestyle in a secure, multicultural, and politically stable environment.

Benefits

  • Permanent Residency: Immediate permanent residency status for approved applicants and their families upon a qualifying investment. This permit is valid as long as you hold the property.
  • Lifestyle and Security: Enjoy a safe and secure environment with a high quality of life. Mauritius boasts a warm climate, beautiful beaches, and a diverse culture.
  • Tax Efficiency: Benefit from a favourable tax regime with no capital gains tax, inheritance tax, or property tax. Mauritius has also signed numerous double taxation agreements, preventing you from being taxed twice on the same income.
  • Family Inclusion: The residency permit extends to your spouse, parents, and dependent children up to the age of 24.
  • Access to Services: As a resident, you gain access to the country's quality public services, including healthcare and education.
