Why Mauritius

No Points. No Quotas.

Mauritius offers one of the most elegant residency-by-investment programmes in the world. There are no points systems, no language tests, no arbitrary caps, and no minimum stay requirements. A qualifying property purchase is all it takes to secure permanent residence for you and your family. For those not purchasing property, the Occupation Permit, Retirement Permit, and Premium Visa offer practical pathways suited to professionals, retirees, and remote workers respectively.

Step by Step

The PRP Process, Explained

01

Choose Your Investment

Select a qualifying property under the PDS, G+2, or Smart City scheme. Our real estate team can guide you to off-market options tailored to your budget and lifestyle.

02

Sign a Sales Agreement

A notarial Deed of Sale is prepared and signed before a Mauritian notary. This triggers the permit application process with the Economic Development Board (EDB).

03

EDB Application

Your legal representative submits the PRP application to the EDB. Required documents include proof of investment, passport copies, police clearance, and medical certificate.

04

Permit Issued

On approval, a Permanent Residence Permit is issued within 3–6 weeks. The permit covers the investor and qualifying dependants — no quota, no points system.

05

Settle & Thrive

Open a local bank account, enrol children in school, and access the island's world-class healthcare. Your concierge team handles the practical details.

06

Path to Citizenship

After 5 years of uninterrupted legal residence, apply for Mauritian citizenship — unlocking a second passport, full voting rights, and unrestricted property ownership.
