Residence permit for a non-citizen who buys a qualifying home for at least USD 375,000.

Immigration Act 2022, section 8, sets the USD 375,000 price for the Integrated Resort Scheme, Real Estate Scheme, Invest Hotel Scheme, Property Development Scheme, Smart City Scheme, and a ground-plus-two apartment. The August 2026 occupation-permit guidelines repeat that rule and say these residence-permit holders are exempt from a work or occupation permit. A shared purchase qualifies if the buyer's own contribution is at least USD 375,000. The price in another currency uses the selling rate on the day the title deed is signed. The Property Development Scheme guidelines say the permit stays in force while the property is held, so there is no renewal term. A serviced-land plot does not qualify until the house is built. The residence file needs a certificate of morality and a medical certificate, each less than six months old. Dependents on that file are a spouse or common-law partner, a child up to 24 in full-time education, and a wholly dependent next of kin. The acquisition application goes through the scheme company. Its non-refundable Economic Development Board fee is MUR 25,000. That figure is not stored as the application fee because the other schemes and the apartment route were not confirmed at the same amount. At the Bank of Mauritius consolidated midpoint on 9 October 2026, 46.7156 rupees per dollar, MUR 25,000 is about USD 535. Registration duty on a PDS purchase is 5 percent of the price. The ground-plus-two page still also prints a MUR 6 million floor. The Act and the 2026 guidelines use USD 375,000. There is no separate 20-year permanent-residence step on this route. Citizenship follows the ordinary six-year alien path. Buying other residential property for at least USD 350,000, with ministerial approval, is a right of someone who is already a resident. It does not itself grant this permit.
