Summary
Mauritius's new Golden Visa offers a renewable two-year status and a route to permanent residence after a USD $1 million investment in an approved high-value sector.
The investor undertakes to place at least USD $1 million into a qualifying project within the first twelve months. Covered sectors include financial services, technology, tourism, manufacturing, health, education, renewable energy, and other approved high-value activities.
Eligibility
- You can invest at least USD $1 million in a project accepted under the current scheme.
- The investment will be completed within the first twelve months of the status.
- You can prove the lawful source and availability of the funds.
- You and accompanying family members meet the general immigration requirements.
The issuing authority makes the final decision. A quick check can identify a plausible fit, but it cannot confirm approval or replace the current application guidance.
What This Route Allows
- An approved applicant and immediate family can reside under a renewable two-year electronic visa.
- Completing the USD $1 million investment makes the holder eligible to apply for a permanent residence permit.
- The program includes Economic Development Board support for qualifying investment and relocation.
What This Route Is Not
- It is not permanent residence at initial approval; the investment must first be completed and a separate application made.
- An arbitrary passive asset does not qualify unless the project and sector are accepted by the program.
Next Steps
- Engage the Economic Development Board to identify an eligible project and sector.
- Prepare source-of-funds, ownership, project, and family records.
- Obtain the initial Golden Visa and complete the investment within twelve months.
- After completing the qualifying investment, apply separately for permanent residence.
