Mauritius Residency Permit

Your Pathway to Living in Paradise

Looking to make your move to a safe, beautiful, and opportunity-rich island? A Mauritius residency permit could be your gateway to long-term living in one of the most peaceful and prosperous countries in the Indian Ocean. Whether you’re retiring, working, investing, or reuniting with family — there’s a path tailored for you.

This guide explains the main options for getting a Mauritius residency permit and how we can help you every step of the way.

 Mauritius Residency Permit Through Occupation

Foreign professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors can apply for a Mauritius Occupation Permit, which acts as a combined work and residence permit.

It includes three categories:

  • Professional

  • Self-Employed

  • Investor

Each of these can later lead to a Mauritius Permanent Residency Permit for 20 years. If you’re planning to work and live in Mauritius long-term, this is one of the most efficient and structured routes.

 Mauritius Residency Permit Through Business Investment

If you’re ready to invest in the Mauritian economy, you may qualify for a Mauritius residency permit through business by investing at least USD 375,000 in a qualifying sector.

Eligible sectors include:

  • Financial services

  • Education

  • Tourism

  • ICT

  • Renewable energy

  • Real estate development
     …and many more.

This pathway grants 20 years of residency and is perfect for entrepreneurs and international investors seeking a secure, low-tax environment.

 Mauritius Residency Permit Through Retirement

If you’re over 50 and ready to embrace a relaxed lifestyle in the tropics, applying for a Mauritius residency permit through retirement is a smart option.

To qualify, you must:

  • Be 50 years or older

  • Prove a minimum of USD 18,000 in a foreign bank account (or a monthly income of USD 1,500)

This Mauritius residency permit is valid for up to 10 years and is renewable. If you meet certain conditions after three years (such as transferring at least USD 54,000), you could become eligible for a 20-year Permanent Residence Permit.

Want something simpler? You can also apply for the Mauritius Premium Visa, a free 1-year visa for retirees and remote workers.

Mauritius Residency Permit for Dependent

Your family comes with you. Spouses, children, and parents of a residence or occupation permit holder can apply for a Mauritius residency permit for dependents. It’s a straightforward process that ensures you enjoy the full island experience together.
