Frequently Asked Questions

What is the investor permit?
It is a combined work-and-residence visa that lets you set up a Mauritian company, invest locally, work in your own business, and live in Mauritius over the long term.
What is the minimum investment?
USD 100,000 — the USD 50,000 option was removed in August 2026. The funds must be transferred to a Mauritian bank within 60 days of approval. These funds belong to you through your company: once the deposit is made, they remain recoverable through a shareholder's current-account loan; they are never locked.
Do I have to set up a company?
Yes. The investor permit involves setting up a local company (Ltd), which is essential to hire staff, lease premises, operate physically, and invoice locally.
Are there turnover targets?
Yes. The EDB requires a minimum turnover of Rs 5M (~USD 110,000) from year 3, then Rs 8M (~USD 175,000) from year 5. Permits already issued are assessed against the previous criteria at their first renewal.
Which activities are allowed?
Almost all of them. Restaurant, retail, agency, online business, a company with employees, an on-site or online activity. If your project involves staff or commercial premises, the investor permit is the right choice.
Can I pay myself dividends?
Yes. As the director of your Mauritian company, you can pay yourself dividends every month. You are free to structure your compensation between salary and dividends, within a particularly advantageous tax framework.
Can I bring my family?
Yes. Your spouse, children and parents can obtain a dependent permit and join you in Mauritius.
How long is the visa valid?
The permit is issued for a period of 10 years, renewable.
Why choose Investor over Self-Employed?
The investor permit is the only one that lets you hire freely and build a genuine team in Mauritius. It is also the gateway to advanced tax optimization through setting up a local company, access to double-taxation treaties, and the ability to structure your income flows. If your project involves staff, fieldwork or commercial premises, the self-employed permit will be refused.
Can BlueVisa handle the entire process?
Entirely. We take care of company formation, bank account opening, the business plan, the EDB file, immigration appointments, and your family's visas. You provide the information, and we manage the whole process.
