Occupation Permit – Investor

The Occupation Permit – Investor is a combined work and residence permit designed for foreign nationals who wish to establish and operate a business in Mauritius. This permit is typically issued for a duration of up to ten years and is renewable, provided the business meets specific performance criteria, such as minimum annual gross income thresholds. It is an ideal pathway for entrepreneurs and business owners looking to leverage Mauritius's stable economic environment and strategic location to grow their commercial interests, while also providing the right to live and work on the island.

To qualify for this permit, applicants must generally make an initial investment of at least USD 50,000 into their Mauritian business. The application process involves a non-refundable fee of USD 50. Beyond the initial investment, holders must demonstrate the viability and growth of their business to maintain their status, ensuring that their presence contributes positively to the local economy. This permit also allows for the inclusion of dependents, making it a comprehensive solution for investors seeking to relocate their families alongside their business operations.
