Residence permit for non-citizens aged 50 and above wishing to retire in Mauritius, issued for up to 10 years with a requirement to transfer at least USD 2,000 monthly to a local bank account and spend 180 days per year in country.
The Retired Non-Citizen Residence Permit is a specialized visa category designed for foreign nationals aged 50 and above who wish to spend their retirement years in Mauritius. This 10-year, renewable permit allows retirees to reside in the country while enjoying its stable economy, favorable tax environment, and high quality of life. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate their financial independence by transferring at least USD 1,500 per month, or an aggregate of USD 18,000 per year, into a local Mauritian bank account. This permit is an excellent option for those seeking a peaceful, secure, and culturally rich environment for their retirement.
Beyond the financial transfer requirements, applicants must provide standard documentation, including a valid passport, a certificate of character, and a medical certificate confirming they are free from contagious diseases. While this permit grants the right to reside in Mauritius, it does not permit the holder to be employed or manage a business in the country. However, it does offer the flexibility to include qualifying dependents, such as a spouse and children, under the same permit, making it a comprehensive solution for families looking to relocate together. Health insurance is a mandatory requirement to ensure access to the island's quality medical facilities.
