Overview

Programme Overview

The Mauritius Investor Occupation Permit (OP), regulated by the Economic Development Board (EDB) of Mauritius and governed under the Immigration Act, represents Africa's most prestigious, stable, and dynamic business migration vehicle. Strategically positioned as an elite fiscal crossroads bridging Asia, Africa, and Western markets, Mauritius provides an exceptionally secure corporate territory anchored in a hybrid legal system combining French Civil Law and English Common Law. The Investor Occupation Permit allows global entrepreneurs and corporate executives to establish a compliant domestic entity. For clients of Burbridge Capital, Mauritius offers an unmatched operational base — granting a robust, initial 10-year combination residency and work authorization paired with low tax regimes and a completely passive, post-approval capital transfer structure.

A Solid 10-Year Residency Horizon
Mauritius immediately grants an initial 10-year residency and work permit, ensuring complete commercial longevity for your corporate expansion without the administrative burden of frequent visa filings.
Ⅱ
Zero Upfront Capital Deployment Risk
Your chosen capital injection is legally protected and only wired after your file receives official Approval-in-Principle (AIP) from the state, safeguarding your primary liquidity during the core immigration stage.

Ⅳ
An Exceptional Tax Optimization Hub
Mauritius maintains a flat 15% harmonic corporate tax rate, imposes 0% capital gains tax, zero dividend withholding taxes, and permits full capital and profit repatriation.
Ⅴ
Broad Family Unification
A single corporate allocation seamlessly covers the principal investor, legal spouse, dependent children of any age, and dependent parents from both family lineages.
Requirements

Investment Framework

Standard Corporate Investment
New or Existing Mauritian Company
USD 50,000 (post-AIP transfer only)
Capital must originate from an overseas account and be transferred directly into the new company's local Mauritian corporate bank log — but only after official Approval-in-Principle is received. The company must generate a minimum gross turnover of MUR 1.5 million (approx. USD 33,000) in its first year, with progressive growth targets to hit a cumulative turnover of MUR 20 million across the initial 5 years.
Equipment Variant
Cash + High-Tech Equipment Split
USD 25,000 cash + USD 25,000 equipment
You are permitted to execute a split capital placement by transferring a minimum of USD 25,000 in direct cash from abroad, while fulfilling the remaining USD 25,000 balance in the form of high-tech machinery, specialized equipment, or hardware tools imported into the country, verified via bills of lading and commercial invoices.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my USD 50,000 capital exposed to any upfront risk?+
No. Under the strict structural design of the Mauritian EDB framework, you are not required to deploy your capital upfront. You submit paper-based bank logs from your home country along with a formal written undertaking. The actual execution of the USD 50,000 wire transfer occurs only after your application has been officially vetted and you hold an official written Approval-in-Principle.
How do I transition from the 10-year permit into a 20-year Permanent Residence Permit?+
Upon completing exactly three consecutive years of holding your active Occupation Permit, you gain the legal right to transition to a 20-year Permanent Residence Permit. Your company must demonstrate strong commercial performance, generating a gross annual income of at least MUR 15 million for those three years, or a cumulative aggregate turnover of MUR 45 million across that 3-year block.
Are there any physical stay or day-count mandates to keep the 10-year permit active?+
None whatsoever. To maintain the legal validity of your 10-year Investor Occupation Permit, you are subject to absolutely zero daily or monthly stay constraints inside Mauritian territory, provided your corporate entity remains fully tax-compliant and active.
