❓ Can I retire in Mauritius if I am a non-citizen?
Yes, non-citizens aged 50 and above can retire in Mauritius by applying for a Retired Non-Citizen Residence Permit. Mauritius is not only beautiful and peaceful—it’s also welcoming to foreign retirees who meet certain financial criteria.
✅ Who can apply?
- You must be 50 years or older
- You must meet the financial requirements set by the Economic Development Board (EDB)
💵 Financial Requirements:
To qualify for a 10-year residence permit, you must:
- Initial Transfer: Make an initial deposit of USD 1,500 (or the equivalent in a freely convertible foreign currency) into a Mauritian bank account.
- Ongoing Requirement: Transfer at least USD 1,500 monthly, OR
- Alternative Total: Transfer a minimum of USD 54,000 over the entire 10-year period.
- Proof of Transfers: Submit annual evidence of the required financial transfers to the EDB.
🏝️ Why retire in Mauritius?
- Tropical climate and stunning natural surroundings
- Excellent healthcare and modern infrastructure
- Safe, politically stable, and expat-friendly
- Access to quality real estate, including beachfront and golf estate properties
📌 Important Notes:
- The Retired Non-Citizen Residence Permit does not allow you to work or invest in a business. If you’d like to do that, you may need a different permit (such as an Occupation Permit).
- After 10 years, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residence, provided you’ve met the criteria.
