Mauritius is offering a new investment-based residency visa with a $1 million investment threshold, aiming to attract high-net-worth individuals seeking Indian Ocean residency.
Mauritius has announced a golden visa program requiring a $1 million investment, with a target of 100 recipients annually. This residency-by-investment scheme is designed to attract wealthy individuals seeking a stable, English-speaking jurisdiction in the Indian Ocean with favorable tax treatment and a strong financial sector.
The program is part of Mauritius's broader strategy to position itself as a hub for international investors and remote workers. The island nation offers political stability, a well-developed banking system, and historically favorable tax policies for foreign residents, though recent changes to its tax regime have reduced some of its appeal as a tax haven.
Mauritius's new golden visa requires a $1 million investment and targets 100 recipients per year.
If you're a high-net-worth individual considering residency in Mauritius, the $1 million investment is substantial but may provide a faster path to residency than traditional employment or business visas. Confirm the investment structure (real estate, business, government bonds) and whether it leads to permanent residency or requires renewal. Work with a Mauritius-based immigration and tax advisor to understand the tax implications of residency there and how it affects your global tax position.
