Paradise — a
Strategic Choice

Its unique combination of political maturity, fiscal efficiency, and exceptional quality of life makes it the preferred domicile for high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and global enterprises alike.

02
Exceptional Tax Advantages
No capital gains tax. No inheritance tax. No withholding tax on dividends. A flat 15% income tax rate and an extensive treaty network spanning 46 countries — making Mauritius one of the world's most tax-efficient jurisdictions for wealth structuring.

Investment Pathways
Government-Backed
Investment Schemes
The Government of Mauritius offers several structured property and business investment schemes that grant non-citizens the right to own freehold property — and in most cases, permanent residence. Each scheme is designed for a distinct investment profile.
Property Scheme
Property Development Scheme (PDS)
From USD 500,000
The primary vehicle for foreign property ownership in Mauritius — encompassing villas, apartments, penthouses, and plots within integrated developments. Qualifying investment grants permanent residence to the investor and dependants.
Smart City
Smart City Scheme
No minimum threshold
Designed to attract investment into integrated, technology-driven urban developments combining residential, commercial, and leisure facilities. Offers a dynamic business environment within a self-contained community.
Residential
Ground + 2 Scheme
From USD 375,000
Allows non-citizens to purchase apartments in buildings of ground floor plus at least two upper floors. An accessible entry point into the Mauritian property market for investors seeking urban or semi-urban locations.
Business Setup
Global Business Licence (GBL)
From USD 50,000 capital
For entrepreneurs and businesses seeking to leverage Mauritius' extensive tax treaty network. A GBL company can hold investments globally, act as a holding entity, and access the full double taxation agreement network.
Entrepreneur Visa
Premium Visa & E2 Scheme
USD 1,500 / year
The Premium Visa allows remote workers, retirees, and self-employed individuals to reside in Mauritius for up to 12 months (renewable). The E2 scheme targets high-net-worth entrepreneurs establishing innovative ventures.
Legacy Scheme
