Frequently Asked Questions

How do I obtain residence through real estate?
You simply acquire a property within a program approved by the Mauritian State, with a minimum investment of USD 375,000. Once the purchase is validated, you automatically obtain a Residence Permit.
What is the minimum investment amount?
USD 375,000 minimum, corresponding to the price of the property excluding additional costs (notary, taxes). No extra fee is required on the immigration side.
Which types of property are eligible?
Only properties located within specific programs: IRS (Integrated Resort Scheme), RES (Real Estate Scheme), PDS (Property Development Scheme), Smart City Scheme, or certain apartments in a building of at least G+2. A standard purchase outside these programs does not grant entitlement to the permit.
How long is the residence permit valid?
The permit remains valid for as long as you own the property. No annual renewal, no fixed expiry. If you resell, the permit ends.
Can I live in Mauritius all year round?
Yes. You can reside full time, enter and leave the territory freely, and rent out your property according to the conditions of the program. No minimum number of days of presence is required.
Can I work with this permit?
No. This permit grants a right of residence only. To carry out a professional activity, a separate occupation permit is required.
Can I bring my family?
Yes. Your spouse and dependent children obtain residence with you. It is one of the most popular options for expat families.
Can I become a Mauritian tax resident?
Yes. By residing in Mauritius for more than 183 days a year, you can benefit from tax-resident status: a progressive personal income tax (0% up to Rs 500,000, then 10%, 20% up to Rs 12M and 35% above), no tax on capital gains or dividends, and no local tax on estates, inheritance or gifts (taxation may, however, depend on the country of tax residence of the heirs).
Is this considered a Golden Visa?
No — since August 2026, Mauritius has an actual Golden Visa, a new scheme for large investors whose criteria are still to be set by regulation. The real-estate Residence Permit remains the property route to residency: an entry ticket from USD 375,000, attractive taxation, a tropical quality of life, English-French bilingualism and recognized political stability.
Can I resell the property later?
Yes, but reselling entails the loss of the residence permit. Most expats keep the property as a rental investment or reinvest in another eligible program.
Is it better than the premium visa or the self-employed permit?
Real estate is ideal if you live off your assets or are an investor, do not wish to carry out an activity, and are looking for a tangible asset without business paperwork. If you want to work or invoice locally, another permit will be more suitable.
Why go through BlueVisa?
Buying on your own carries risks: the wrong program, an ineligible permit, poorly structured taxation or notarial errors. We handle the selection of eligible projects, developer due diligence, legal structuring, bank account opening, the residence permit and your complete settling-in. Property, visa and relocation, turnkey.
