While much of the world watches geopolitical tensions ripple outward from the Middle East, Mauritius is adapting to the changes. In April 2026, the Government announced a suite of measures designed to turn global uncertainty into opportunity, by introducing the Golden Visa Scheme.
The idea is simple: make it faster and easier for high-net-worth individuals to call Mauritius home. Whether you are a strategic investor, entrepreneurs exploring market entry, digital nomads and remote workers employed abroad, retirees and frequent travelers seeking extended stays, this scheme is built with you in mind.
Five days. That's it.
The Economic Development Board of Mauritius, the body running the scheme, is targeting a turnaround of roughly five business days. Apply, get approved and receive a two-year residence authorisation, which will be renewable when it expires.
