Mauritius Investment & Retirement Residency
An Indian Ocean residence option, with distinct property, retirement and occupation-permit requirements.
Mauritius combines an Indian Ocean setting with business connections. Property, retirement, employment and business permits have separate conditions. Tax depends on residence, income type and current law; residence approval does not establish a uniform low rate or blanket exemption.

Specific implementation plans must be issued by a professional tax compliance team.
Connecting to Global Elite Academies
Compare school admission criteria, curriculum, language, tuition and visa requirements. Residence or citizenship does not guarantee a school place, lower admission scores or eligibility for overseas-Chinese or international-student admissions; each route has separate conditions.
"Mauritius is a well-known offshore financial center. We bought a top-tier villa on the island and directly got residency here. Since then, we not only enjoy the stunning Indian Ocean scenery but our offshore structure legally bypasses exorbitant European taxes."

Following approval in principle, provide the required Mauritian banking, medical, entry and marital documents and present originals as requested. Dependants must separately qualify for their residence permissions.
Can I work with Mauritius retirement residence?
Retirement residence is not an open work permit. The holder may invest subject to the rules but may not thereby become employed or receive salary or employment benefits. Employment in permitted sectors requires the appropriate work permit or Occupation Permit. Assess work rights under property and other permit categories separately.
Is there a risk of policy changes or price increases?
Choose an application date based on current official rules, your eligibility and document readiness. Check published transition deadlines where relevant; do not assume a closing window or limited quota unless the authority has announced one.
