About this Visa
You buy a property in Mauritius for at least $375,000 and get a residence permit. You can live there permanently, work without needing extra permission, and bring your family. The permit lasts as long as you own the property—no expiration date. You don't need to live there full-time. This is an investment-based residence, not a tourist visa. Your spouse, children under 24, and dependent parents automatically get the same rights you do.

- Bring spouse and children with same residence rights
