A Guide to Non-Citizen Property Acquisition in Mauritius: Maximising Opportunities with Property Finder Mauritius


Introduction to Mauritius Real Estate Opportunities

Mauritius presents a lucrative canvas for non-citizens interested in owning property on this idyllic island. From luxurious villas in the Property Development Scheme (PDS) to smart city apartments, the range of properties available caters to a diverse investor base, including retirees and foreign nationals seeking permanent residence through investment.


Understanding the Property Development Scheme (PDS)

The PDS is an evolution of previous schemes aimed at facilitating property purchases by non-citizens. This scheme not only allows the acquisition of high-end residences but also ensures that investors benefit from a well-regulated environment with a plethora of services such as security, maintenance, and community development. Investing in a PDS property often exceeds USD 375,000, which can secure a residence permit for the buyer and their dependents as long as they maintain ownership.


Smart City Scheme: A Blend of Lifestyle and Innovation

The Smart City Scheme embodies a unique blend of residential, business, and leisure amenities, encouraging a "work, play, live" ethos. Non-citizens can purchase residential units within these developments, enjoying cutting-edge amenities and sustainable living. This scheme supports the purchase of serviced land up to 2100 m2, fostering a vibrant community of international residents and locals alike.


The Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS) and Real Estate Scheme (RES)

Both the IRS and RES offer luxurious residential units such as villas, townhouses, and apartments with top-tier amenities. These schemes are attractive for their lifestyle offerings and the freedom they provide, such as the ability to rent out the property and no restrictions on the repatriation of profits or capital. A minimum investment of USD 375,000 is required for eligibility for a residence permit under these schemes, enhancing Mauritius's appeal as a retirement or investment destination.


New Opportunities: Ground +2 Apartments and Fractional Ownership

Recent regulatory updates have introduced more flexibility in property ownership for non-citizens. The Ground +2 scheme allows foreigners to purchase apartments in buildings of at least two floors, with a minimum investment, providing a pathway to residency. Moreover, the concept of fractional ownership now permits multiple investors (like couples or business partners) to each invest USD 375,000 or more in a property and individually qualify for permanent residence.


Navigating Legal Requirements and Investment Insights

Potential investors need to navigate a series of legal requirements, including obtaining permits and adhering to specific investment thresholds. It's crucial for non-citizens to understand the financial implications, including additional government duties when purchasing outside designated schemes. Legal support and consultation with experts like those from Property Finder Mauritius (PropertyFinder.mu) can provide personalised guidance tailored to individual investment profiles​.
