I am also looking at the process how to apply for citizenship.
I live in S.A and spend time traveling to Mauritius.
We love the island and plan to gain citizenship
Help please as even the embassy didn't explain well
Hello snaicker8,
For more visibility, I have moved your post to create a new discussion.
I hope that members who have been in a similar situation will be able to help you soon.
For now, you can read this document to find additional information:

Citizenship can be acquired either by birthright or
as a Commonwealth citizen: after residing and living for 5 years on the island.
If you were born on the island and then moved to SA, you can apply through Jus Soli so long you didn't renounce it, had you been naturalized as a South African on your move there .
If one of your birth parents was born on the island you can apply through Jus Sanguinis ( by descent)
BTW: Buying real estate gives you residency as per https://www.propertycloud.mu/blog/how-t … investment but not citizenship unless you are an investor ( a big one ) or you have some good vitamin C ( aka good connections with the sitting government no matter which one it is) since it is the prerogative of the sitting PM.
Hello everyone,
Please note that I have added 2 posts to this thread on the Mauritius forum since the OP already had an open topic on citizenship.
All the best
