2 visa pathways for Mauritius
A 10-year residence permit for investors, retirees, and high earners settling in Mauritius for the long haul. Four distinct tracks — investor ($375K real estate), retiree ($1,500/month pension at 50+), professional ($50K+ salary), or self-employed ($35K+ business turnover) — and you only need to clear one. Mauritius offers 15% flat personal income tax on worldwide income, zero capital gains, zero wealth tax, dual citizenship permission, and naturalization eligibility after roughly 5 years. The complement to the Premium Visa for applicants ready to commit beyond 1-2 year stays.
A one-year renewable visa for remote workers, retirees, and small investors who want an Indian Ocean base. English and French both work day-to-day, the resident tax rate is a flat 15% on worldwide income, zero capital gains and wealth tax, and the application costs nothing. Launched in 2020 as one of the earliest dedicated remote-worker programs anywhere. The $1,500/month income bar is among the lowest globally. Quietly one of the most underrated nomad bases for the right profile.
