The Golden Visa is initially granted as a renewable two-year E-Visa and extends to the investor’s immediate family, including their spouse and dependent children. To facilitate a seamless relocation experience, work permits for domestic workers accompanying Golden Visa holders will be issued within five working days.

Within the first 12 months of the visa’s validity, the Golden Visa holder is expected to make a minimum investment of USD 1 million in an investment project within a qualifying sector. Eligible sectors include financial services, fintech, information and communications technology (ICT), tourism and hospitality, manufacturing, healthcare and wellness, education, renewable energy, the blue economy, creative industries, and other innovative and knowledge-based sectors.

The Golden Visa Scheme provides international investors with a clear pathway to long-term residency through investment. Upon making the required minimum investment of USD 1 million, the Golden Visa holder becomes eligible to apply for a Permanent Residence Permit. More than simply a residency programme, the scheme enables investors to establish and expand their businesses while making Mauritius their long-term home.

In addition to providing a pathway to Permanent Residence, the Golden Visa Scheme offers access to the EDB’s dedicated Fast-Track Concierge Service, ensuring a seamless investment and relocation journey. Investors benefit from personalised support at every stage, including identifying investment opportunities, establishing their business, navigating regulatory requirements, accessing wealth management guidance, relocating their families, and securing education advisory services. This comprehensive, end-to-end assistance enables investors and their families to settle and integrate smoothly into life in Mauritius.

The Golden Visa Scheme is more than a residency programme it is a gateway to long-term investment, business growth and an exceptional quality of life in one of the world’s most stable, business-friendly investment destinations.
