Mauritius is one of the most successful economies in Africa, recording its highest GDP per capita.
The country’s political stability and economic success, a very literate, skilled and bilingual workforce, excellent infrastructure and Freeport; sound financial services and global business sector, acknowledged ease of doing business and a light fiscal regime have effectively contributed to position the island as an attractive and secure destination for foreign investors in the business and real estate sectors.
The acquisition, by a foreigner, of a property exceeding a price of USD 500 000 under a Property Development Scheme (PDS), entitles the owner to a Mauritian Residency Permit for himself and his family. The spouse of the property owner and children below 24 years are eligible for the Mauritian Residency Permit.
