Why Mauritius
Regulated international market: The foreign segment is separate from the domestic segment and requires approval from the Economic Development Board (EDB) for each acquisition scheme.
-
Residency through Property ownership
The purchase of real estate valued at $375,000 or more grants a Residence Permit without a mandatory minimum stay requirement.
-
Free repatriation of capital
There are no currency controls; transfers are subject to bank AML/KYC procedures.
-
A mixed legal system
Code Civil Mauricien + elements of English common law.
-
Capital preservation
The market's primary function is long-term lifestyle and diversification, not high gross returns.
Acquisition structures
-

Registered freehold property under an approved program is the clearest path to obtaining a Residence Permit.

-
Invest Hotel Scheme
A hotel unit with a rental pool and a designated operator.
-

Coastal state land is typically held under a state land lease, not as freehold property.

Taxes and Expenses
| Tax | Rate | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Registration Duty buyer | 10% | For non-residents, effective July 1, 2026 |
| Corporate tax | 15% | Base rate; substance requirements are verified separately |
| VAT | 15% | Standard rate for new real estate and services |
| Sale by a Nonresident | more than 10% of the price or 30% appreciation | Special Land Transfer Tax after Finance Act 2025 |
The total cost of entry is more than 11–13% of the property’s price. A short holding period is not economically viable. The exit formula for non-residents significantly reduces the profitability of a quick resale.
