Your questions about Mauritius

Everything you need to know before you get started.

How long does it take to obtain a visa?
On average 2 to 3 months for an Occupation Permit or a Retired Non-Citizen permit, and about 1 month for a Premium Visa. These timelines depend on how complete your application is and how responsive the administration is. With BlueVisa, you track every step in real time.
How much does it cost?
Our pricing is fixed and transparent, with no hidden fees. The price depends on the type of visa and the level of support you choose. Check the page of the visa you're interested in to see detailed pricing.
What happens if my visa is refused?
With a 98% success rate, refusals are rare. If it does happen despite a compliant application, we analyze the reasons and support you through the appeal process or in finding alternatives. Our “Expatriated or refunded” guarantee applies under the conditions set out in our Terms of Sale.
Do I need to be on site to handle the process?
No. The entire process can be handled remotely. You submit your documents through our platform, and we take care of the rest. You'll only need to travel for the medical tests, after the approval in principle.
What's the difference between the Occupation Permit and the Premium Visa?
The Occupation Permit (10 years) is for entrepreneurs, investors and professionals who want to work in Mauritius. The Premium Visa (1 year, renewable) is ideal for digital nomads and retirees who work remotely.
Can I bring my family?
Yes. Whatever visa you choose, your spouse and children can obtain a dependent permit and join you in Mauritius. We handle all the family formalities within the same application.
What is the tax situation in Mauritius?
Mauritius applies a progressive income tax scale (0% up to Rs 500,000, then 10%, 20% up to Rs 12M and 35% above) and a 15% corporate tax. There is no capital gains tax and no local inheritance tax. It is one of the most attractive tax frameworks in the world for entrepreneurs and investors.
I'm not sure which visa to choose; what should I do?
Book a free discovery call with our team. In just a few minutes, we'll identify the visa best suited to your profile and your project.
Are my funds locked after the transfer?
No. The funds transferred to your Mauritian bank account remain fully available and usable for personal purposes. This is not a locked investment, simply your money held in a local bank.
How does payment work?
Most of our packs work with a 30% deposit at the start, then the remaining balance once the approval in principle is received. Some visas such as the Premium Visa are paid in a single instalment. Everything is detailed before you confirm.
Can I bring my dog or cat to Mauritius?
Yes. Importing pets into Mauritius is permitted, subject to a complete health file: up-to-date vaccinations, veterinary certificate, import permit and mandatory quarantine on arrival. The procedure is strict but well structured. BlueVisa offers dedicated support to handle all the formalities and ensure a smooth arrival for your pet.
