Summary
Mauritius offers a renewable ten-year residence permit to non-citizens aged 50 or older who can transfer at least USD $2,000 monthly or USD $24,000 yearly.
You must show the qualifying funds, transfer them into a Mauritius bank account, and provide annual evidence. The status does not itself permit ordinary employment, although passive investment and separately authorized work can be possible.
Eligibility
- You are at least 50.
- You can show at least USD $24,000 or guaranteed income of at least USD $2,000 monthly.
- You can transfer the required funds to a Mauritius bank account and report them as required.
- You meet the police, medical, passport, and other residence-permit conditions.
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
- If approved, you can live in Mauritius for up to ten years and seek renewal.
- Qualifying dependents can apply for residence for the same period.
- You may invest in a business without taking employment or salary from it under the published rules.
What This Route Is Not
- It is not an ordinary work permit; employment needs separate authorization.
- Merely showing a foreign bank balance is not enough if the required Mauritius transfers are not made and documented.
Next Steps
- Confirm age and assemble the bank or guaranteed-income evidence.
- Prepare passport, police, medical, birth, and civil-status documents.
- Open or plan the Mauritius bank account needed for the transfers.
- Apply through the official licensing system and retain annual transfer evidence.
