Mauritius has announced a new golden visa program requiring a $1 million investment, with a target of 100 annual recipients. The program is designed to attract high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs seeking residency in a stable, English-speaking African nation with strong financial infrastructure and no exchange controls.

Golden visas typically grant residency (and sometimes a path to citizenship) in exchange for a capital investment, real estate purchase, or business creation. Mauritius's $1 million threshold is lower than many European golden visa programs but higher than some Southeast Asian alternatives. The exact terms—whether the investment is recoverable, what sectors qualify, and the timeline to citizenship—have not been fully detailed in public announcements.

Mauritius is launching a $1 million golden visa, positioning itself as a lower-cost entry point to African residency and investment.

If you're exploring residency-by-investment options, Mauritius offers tax advantages (no capital gains tax, no wealth tax) and a strong legal system. However, verify the final program terms directly with Mauritian immigration authorities before committing funds. Golden visa programs can change, and the devil is always in the fine print.
