An Occupation Permit (Investor and Self-employed) and a Retired Residence Permit is issued for a maximum period of ten years, renewable thereafter as per the regulations in force at the time of renewal.
An Occupation Permit as a Professional is issued for a maximum period of three years or according to the terms of the contract of employment, renewable thereafter as per the regulations in force at the time of renewal.
Dependents of the above mentioned categories of persons may also apply for residence permit for a duration not exceeding that of the main holder.
Other means to acquire residential property in Mauritius are under schemes approved and managed by the Economic Development Board (EDB) such as:
- The Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS)
- The Real Estate Scheme (RES)
- The Property Development Scheme (PDS)

The EDB also proposes the option of the Long Stay Visa:
A non-citizen is eligible to apply for a long-stay visa following the acquisition of an apartment at a price exceeding USD 500,000 or its equivalent in any convertible currencies.
A long stay visa will permit a non-citizen and his dependents to stay for a consecutive period of ten (10) years. This type of visa is renewable based on ownership as it is valid for so long as the non-citizen holds the title to the apartment.
Please consult the website of the EDB for more details on each scheme, we can assist you with your arrangements with the EDB
