How to Invest in Property in Mauritius as a Foreigner
Mauritius has become one of the most attractive destinations for foreign property investors. With political stability, a favourable tax environment and access to residence permits through approved real estate schemes, the island offers a secure and strategic investment opportunity.
If you are considering buying property in Mauritius as a non-citizen, here is what you need to know.
Can Foreigners Buy Property in Mauritius?
Yes. Foreign buyers can purchase property in Mauritius through government-approved schemes such as:
• PDS (Property Development Scheme)
• RES (Real Estate Scheme)
• IRS (Integrated Resort Scheme)
• Smart City Scheme
These developments allow non-citizens to legally own freehold property in Mauritius.
Is the Property Freehold?
In approved schemes, foreign buyers obtain full freehold ownership. This means you fully own the property and can resell it at any time.
Can I Obtain a Residence Permit?
Yes. Foreign buyers investing a minimum of USD 375,000 in approved property schemes are eligible to apply for a residence permit in Mauritius.
The permit allows you and your immediate family to reside in Mauritius as long as you own the property.
What About Taxes in Mauritius?
Mauritius offers one of the most attractive tax systems globally:
• No capital gains tax
• No inheritance tax
• No wealth tax
• Flat income tax rate of 15%
This makes Mauritius particularly appealing for international investors seeking stability and efficiency.
Rental Income & Investment Potential
Many developments offer strong rental demand, especially in the North and West regions of Mauritius.
Depending on the location and property type, investors can expect competitive rental yields and long-term capital appreciation.
