Living In Paradise Is Now Possible

The famous French writer Bernardin de St Pierre once wrote that "God was inspired by Mauritius to create paradise". Although this is a very poetic statement, the reality is not too far away from this.

Since its independence in 1968, Mauritius continues to prosper as a tourist destination. With some of the loveliest beaches in the world, and its continued growth, it is increasingly becoming a highly competitive financial and economic hub in the Indian Ocean Islands. Until recently, it was almost impossible for foreigners to obtain residency or to purchase immovable property in Mauritius, however the recent introduction of Integrated Resort Scheme’s (IRS), now allows foreigners to live and own designated immoveable property on the paradise island of Mauritius. Not only do they get a piece of paradise, but also are provided the opportunity to obtain residency and the right to work on the island.
