Frequently asked
A few common questions about residence permits and immigration to Mauritius.
What is a Mauritius residence permit?
A Mauritius residence permit is official permission for a non-citizen to live in Mauritius for a defined period, and in most cases to work. The main routes are retirement, and the Occupation Permit for investors, self-employed people and professionals. Each route has its own eligibility rules.
How do I get a residence permit in Mauritius?
You can get a Mauritius residence permit through one of several routes: retire in Mauritius at 50 or over, invest in a Mauritian company, register as self-employed, or take up a job with a Mauritian employer. TBI prepares and submits the application for you.
How long is a Mauritius residence permit valid?
Most Mauritius residence permits and occupation permits are valid for up to 10 years and are renewable. The Permanent Residence Permit is valid for 20 years.
Does a Mauritius residence permit allow me to work?
An Occupation Permit combines the right to live and work in Mauritius in a single permit. The retirement permit is for retirees, who may invest in but not work in or draw a salary from a Mauritian business, though remote work for foreign clients is allowed.
How do I get permanent residence in Mauritius?
Retirees, investors, self-employed people and professionals can apply for a 20-year Permanent Residence Permit after living in Mauritius for at least 5 years and meeting the financial threshold for their route.
What is the difference between residency and citizenship in Mauritius?
Residency lets you live and work in Mauritius for the period of your permit. Citizenship makes you a Mauritian national with a passport and full civic rights, reached later through naturalisation, marriage, adoption or descent.
