Mauritius, a stunning island off the coast of Africa, has become an appealing destination for retirees, offering a unique retirement visa that allows individuals over 50 to live in the country with no work obligations.
This program, designed for those seeking a peaceful retirement, offers a simple process and clear benefits.
Simple Requirements for a Dream Retirement
Mauritius’ retirement visa program provides an attractive option for those who wish to live in the country without needing employment.
According to the Economic Development Board of Mauritius, applicants must be at least 50 years old and deposit a minimum of USD 1,500 per month (USD 18,000 annually) into a local Mauritian bank account to qualify.
The initial residence permit lasts for 10 years.
After three consecutive years of meeting the financial requirements, retirees may apply for a 20-year Permanent Residence Permit, provided they have deposited at least USD 54,000 in total over the previous three years.
No Work, Just Chill: Embrace a Relaxed Lifestyle
The program is tailored to those seeking a laid-back lifestyle without work pressure. As stated in the Tiktok video, retirees are not permitted to engage in employment or derive income from business activities while living in Mauritius.
The focus is entirely on relaxation, allowing retirees to enjoy the island’s stunning beaches, mountains, and wildlife.
Retirees can swim, hike, explore nature, and indulge in the local cuisine.
However, they are allowed to invest in businesses, as long as they do not manage or work in them. This offers a chance to participate in the economy without daily work demands.
Property Ownership and Investment Opportunities
In addition to the financial and lifestyle benefits, retirees can invest in real estate under specific schemes.
According to Harmonie.mu, retirees can purchase property in developments under the Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS), Real Estate Scheme (RES), Property Development Scheme (PDS), and Smart City Scheme (SCS).
These schemes allow retirees to own property in Mauritius, but the developments must meet certain conditions, such as multi-story buildings.
This makes it possible for retirees to secure a long-term home in the country while contributing to the local economy.
A Relaxed, Stress-Free Life in Mauritius
The Mauritius retirement visa provides a perfect opportunity for retirees who want to escape the demands of work and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the island.
With a straightforward visa process, no work obligations, and opportunities for property ownership, it is an ideal destination for those looking to retire in peace.
Mauritius stands out as one of the few countries where retirees can live without employment pressures, enjoying their golden years in one of the most beautiful and welcoming places in the world.
This program is reportedly a significant part of Mauritius’ strategy to attract long-term residents and sustainably contribute to the economy.
