Acquiring property in Mauritius

Non-Citizens: Non-citizens of Mauritius, including foreigners, are subject to specific regulations when acquiring property in the country.

The Non-Citizens (Property Restriction) Act governs land ownership by non-citizens and imposes restrictions on the type and location of property they can acquire.

a. Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS): The IRS allows non-citizens to purchase luxury villas or apartments in pre-defined developments known as Integrated Resort Schemes.

These developments typically include amenities such as golf courses, marinas, and other leisure facilities.

b. Real Estate Scheme (RES): Similar to the IRS, the RES enables non-citizens to purchase residential units in specific developments approved by the government.

These developments are generally smaller-scale than IRS projects and focus on residential properties.

c. Invest Hotel Scheme (IHS): The IHS allows non-citizens to invest in hotel projects and acquire a room or suite in a hotel development.

Investors can benefit from rental income generated by their hotel room or suite.

d. Agricultural Land: Non-citizens are generally not allowed to acquire agricultural land in Mauritius unless they obtain approval from the Prime Minister's Office.

e. Residential Property: Non-citizens may also be allowed to acquire residential properties in specific designated areas, subject to certain conditions and restrictions.

Currency Stability:

Mauritius maintains a stable currency, the Mauritian Rupee (MUR), which is pegged to a basket of foreign currencies. Currency stability reduces the risk of exchange rate fluctuations for investors.

Political Stability

The country has a long history of political stability, which is crucial for maintaining investor confidence. Political stability reduces the risk associated with investments and provides a conducive environment for businesses to thrive.

Mauritius has a stable legal and regulatory framework, which provides confidence to investors. The country has well-established institutions and a robust legal system based on English common law.
