Golden Visa Scheme ( Budget 2026-2027)
A Golden Visa is granted to an applicant who undertakes to invest a minimum of USD 1 million, within the first 12 months of stay in Mauritius, in high value sectors such as FinTech, global treasury, artificial intelligence, biotechnology and renewable energy.
The Golden Visa holder is allowed to stay in Mauritius for a period of up to two years, with the possibility of renewal. He is provided the same incentives granted to the holder of a Premium Visa, including the following benefits under the Income Tax Act:
(a) be taxed on income derived from foreign employment only where such income is
remitted to Mauritius;
(b) not be deemed to have remitted income to Mauritius where expenditure is incurred
locally through the use of a foreign credit or debit card; and
(c) not be taxed on funds deposited into a bank account in Mauritius, where a
declaration is provided that applicable taxes have already been paid abroad.
The following enhancements will be brought to the Scheme:
(a) upon effecting the minimum investment of USD 1 million, the Golden Visa holder
will be eligible to apply for a Permanent Residence Permit in Mauritius; and
(b) work permits for domestic workers accompanying the Golden Visa holder will be
processed within 5 working days.
