Obtain Residency

Foreign investors have the opportunity to acquire property through diverse property schemes, entitling them to residency with a minimum investment of USD 375 000. As long as you maintain ownership of the property, your residency permit remains valid. Moreover, this opportunity extends to the spouses and dependent children who are also eligible for residency permits.

Buy in Partnership

Investing in property on the island now comes with an exciting opportunity; residency in partnership. This can be done when each individual commits a minimum investment of USD 375,000 in a single property. For example, if two investors opt to acquire a splendid property here, with each contributing over USD 375,000, both will qualify for a residence permit.

Foreign Acquisition for Investors

Though a minimum investment of USD 375 000 is required to obtain residency in Mauritius, you can also acquire properties for less than this amount in various property schemes. In these cases, you can buy a property and enjoy it whenever you are on the island and rent it out the rest of the year for an interesting yield return.
