Why Mauritius
Residency for a purchase from $375,000
A purchase in an approved Property Development Scheme (PDS) project grants residency to the buyer, spouse and children — with no minimum-stay requirement.
English and French in daily use
Business is conducted in English and French, in a legal system that blends common and civil law.
A clear application process
After the sale is registered, the notary issues a certificate — submitted with a passport and medical declaration to the Economic Development Board (EDB), a decision usually comes within ten working days.
Purchase only within approved schemes
Foreigners may only buy within government-approved development schemes — the project's status is confirmed on paper before you shortlist anything.
Honestly, the status is tied to ownership
Residency lasts for as long as you own the property — selling it ends the ground for the status. Worth planning for in your exit scenario from the start.

Frequently asked questions
Where can a foreigner buy property in Mauritius?+
Within government-approved development scheme projects. Buying outside such schemes is generally not open to foreigners, so a project's status is confirmed in writing before the deal.
What is the residency threshold?+
Buying residential property in a PDS scheme project for more than USD 375,000, or the equivalent in any freely convertible currency. The status extends to a spouse and dependent children.
Do I have to live in Mauritius to keep the status?+
No, there is no minimum-stay requirement. The status lasts as long as you own the property and confers the right to live and work on the island without a separate occupation permit.
What happens to the status if I sell?+
The basis for residency ends: the status is tied to ownership. This is a fundamental point to build into the exit plan in advance.
How long does the permit take?+
Once the sale is registered, the notary issues a certificate which is submitted to the Economic Development Board with a passport and health declaration. The permit is typically issued within ten working days.
What are the costs of buying and owning?+
On the transaction, registration duties, notarial services and agency commission. During ownership, scheme maintenance charges; in resort developments these materially affect net yield when letting.
Will a bank lend to a foreigner?+
Local banks lend to foreign buyers within approved scheme projects. Terms depend on the specific project and the applicant's profile and are assessed individually.
Do you have property in Mauritius?+
Yes, our catalogue includes listings within approved scheme projects. We will match to your budget and purpose, including properties that clear the residency threshold.

NoOverview
Mauritius is one of the few markets where residency is tied directly to a property purchase and lasts exactly as long as you own it. Foreigners may buy within government-approved development schemes.
Why buy here
Residency on a purchase from USD 375,000 in a PDS scheme project — for the buyer, spouse and dependent children, with no minimum-stay obligation. The status lasts as long as you own the property and confers the right to live and work in Mauritius without a separate occupation permit. English and French in business use, and a legal system combining common and civil law.
Taxes, costs and yield
Benchmarks for taxes, purchase and holding costs and rental yield. Exact figures depend on the property and your situation.
Taxes
Registration duties apply on the transaction. The island's tax system is comparatively simple; rates are confirmed by the notary for the specific deal.
Costs & taxes
Registration duties are payable on the transaction, with notarial services and agency commission charged separately. During ownership, scheme maintenance charges apply, their level depending on the class of the development and the services included. Exact duty rates and the tax consequences for your circumstances are confirmed by a notary or tax adviser on the island.
Buying process
1. Select a property within an approved scheme project — buying outside such schemes is generally not open to foreigners. 2. Legal due diligence on the project and developer. 3. Contract and payment to schedule. 4. Notarial execution and registration of the sale. 5. Where the price exceeds USD 375,000, file for the residence permit with the EDB.
Mortgages
Local banks lend to foreign buyers within approved scheme projects; terms depend on the project and the applicant's profile.
Residence & visas
Buying residential property in a PDS scheme project for more than USD 375,000 (or the equivalent in any freely convertible currency) confers eligibility for a residence permit. It extends to a spouse and dependent children, lasts as long as the property is held, and carries no minimum-stay obligation. It also confers the right to live and work in Mauritius without a separate occupation permit. Procedure: once the sale is registered, the notary issues a certificate which is submitted to the Economic Development Board together with a passport and health declaration. The permit is typically issued within ten working days.
Investment notes
Tying status to ownership is the defining feature: selling the property ends the basis for residency. That belongs in the exit plan. Scheme projects differ in the standard of management and the services included, and that is what drives the difference in net yield when letting.
Risks to consider
What to bear in mind: — buying outside approved schemes is generally not open to foreigners — a project's status is confirmed in writing; — residency lasts while you own the property: a sale ends the basis; — the USD 375,000 threshold applies to residential property in a PDS scheme project, not to any purchase; — maintenance charges in resort projects materially affect net yield. Checked in September 2026. Thresholds, rates and programme terms change — confirm the current requirements with a lawyer in the country before you buy.
