INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS

Mauritius, with confidence.

Whether you are investing, moving here or living far from the island, the office is at your side in English and French, from checking the property qualifies to signing the deed.

BUYING AS A NON-CITIZEN

The frameworks set by law.

A non-citizen buys residential property within one of these frameworks, with prior approval from the Economic Development Board (EDB).

PDS

Property Development Scheme

Villas and apartments in approved projects. A purchase of at least USD 375,000 qualifies for a residence permit, valid for as long as you own the property.

IRS · RES

Integrated Resort Scheme, Real Estate Scheme

Homes in existing approved projects, on the same principles.

Smart City

Smart City Scheme

Homes in certified Smart City projects, with the same residence threshold.

G+2

Apartments

An apartment in a building with at least two floors above the ground floor, from Rs 6 million.

Thresholds in force in November 2026. Rules and duties for non-citizens change: the office will confirm those in force at the time of your project.

WHAT THE OFFICE DOES

From eligibility to the deed.

Check eligibility

Does the property really fall within the chosen framework? That is the first question, before any application.

Prepare the EDB file

The promise of sale, endorsed by the notary, goes with your approval application.

Secure the purchase

Title, charges, the project's conditions, payment terms.

Choose your own notary

Developers often suggest their own. You can appoint yours, who looks after your legal security.

Sign from abroad

A power of attorney drafted by the office, signed in your country, then legalised or apostilled. Some private deeds can be signed electronically.

Deeds valid everywhere

For a deed to be used abroad, the notary's signature is authenticated and then apostilled by the Mauritian authorities.

SETTLING IN MAURITIUS

Beyond the purchase.

Living in Mauritius also means organising your family life and assets here: marriage contracts, a will for your Mauritian assets, a company, powers of attorney.

For Mauritians living abroad, the office handles successions, sales and divisions without you always having to travel.

Wills and successions

Your questions, answered.

Can a foreigner buy property in Mauritius?

Yes, within the frameworks set by law (PDS, IRS, RES, Smart City, G+2 apartments) and with Economic Development Board approval. The notary checks that the property qualifies before any application.

Does buying property give me a residence permit?

Yes, for a residential purchase of at least USD 375,000 in an approved scheme (PDS, IRS, RES, Smart City). The permit remains valid for as long as you own the property.

Can I buy without coming to Mauritius?

Often, yes: a power of attorney signed in your country, legalised or apostilled, lets a representative sign for you.

Will my Mauritian deed be recognised abroad?

To be used in another country, the deed is authenticated and then apostilled by the Mauritian authorities. The office guides you through the steps.
