Under which status can I apply for an Occupation permit and what are the criteria attached?

Applications for an Occupation permit can be submitted in any the following three categories:

Investor: The business activity should generate a turnover exceeding MUR 4 million annually with an initial investment of USD 100,000 per investor or its equivalent in freely convertible foreign currency.

In case there is more than one investor, the turnover criteria should apply in respect of each applicant (i.e. MUR 8 million for two applicants, MUR 12 million for three applicants, and so on)

Professional: Basic salary should exceed MUR 60,000 monthly. However, the basic salary for the category of Professional in the ICT Sector should exceed MUR 30, 000 monthly. For all applications submitted prior to 31 October 2015, the salary threshold of MUR 45,000 still applies.

The annual income has been increased from MUR 600,000 to MUR 1,200,000 as from the third year of activity.
