In addition to the above, some less strict regulations were announced 2 years ago with the Mauritius 2021/2 Budget during COVID:

:

* Foreign nationals wishing to apply for an Occupation Permit to work and reside in Mauritius can do so under the three categories: Investor, Professional and Self-Employed.

* The validity period for an Occupation Permit as a Professional will be extended to 10-years.

* Foreign nationals holding an Occupation Permit as a Professional will be given the flexibility to interchange between employment opportunities without having to submit a new application, provided that the minimum criteria are met.

* Spouses of Occupation Permit holders wishing to invest or work in Mauritius will be exempted from applying for an Occupation Permit or Work Permit.

* The maximum age limit of 24-years for dependants will be waived.

In addition it was announced in last week’s Mauritius 🇲🇺 2023/24 Budget that RNC (Retired non-Citizens) may now purchase PDS property specifically developed for 50+ Senior Living at a minimum of USD 200 000 to qualify for Permanent Residency

(as opposed to the USD 375 000 minimum for under-50 year olds purchasing any other property in one of the IRS/RES/PDS/SCS/G+2 schemes).

Senior Living Residence

Mauritius is blessed with a warm and conducive weather for 8 months a year, along with a peaceful and harmonious environment and an ever-improving infrastructure and a competitive cost of living, which makes it a remarkable place for retirement.

— Projects being developed under the scheme (PDS for Senior Living) essentially refers to homes that cater to adults aged 50+ who are looking to live independently in a peer environment, and provide facilities for recreation and socialising, including a clubhouse, health club or gym, facility management services, focused on the needs of the elderly.

— A non-citizen retiree, i.e. aged above 50 years, can acquire a residential unit or the life rights in respect of a residential unit in an approved project.

— The minimum acquisition price is USD 200 000 and the non-citizen can choose to apply for a residence permit for himself/herself and his/her spouse or common law partner until such time the property is no longer owned or occupied by the retiree.
