Mauritius, a paradise for digital nomads, has some of the world’s most pristine turquoise waters and white sand beaches. The new digital nomad visa (Premium Visa) allows for a longer stay than the standard six-month tourist visa.
With the Premium Visa, remote workers can stay in Mauritius for a year and with the option to renew the visa once that period draws to a close. The visa category was introduced in a bid to attract more longer-term visitors into the country after the Covid-19 pandemic decimated the Mauritius tourism industry.
The application is free to submit and carries a 48-hour turnaround time. To date, approximately 2000 applications have been approved.
What Is A Digital Nomad Visa?
A digital nomad visa category allows remote workers and freelancers to claim temporary residency in another country, granted they meet specific criteria.
The applicant must be:
- Employed as a remote worker
- Have a portfolio of freelance clients
- Own a business outside of the country where they wish to apply for their visa
A Wonderful Way Of Life
The Mauritius Premium Visa is one of the most popular because of its longer-term stay (12 months) and reduced financial requirements. Not to mention the wonderful in-country conditions, which include steady, moderate weather patterns, a surprisingly low cost of living, rapidly advancing infrastructure, and a laid-back island lifestyle. The Premium Visa also allows the addition of family members/dependants.

The Premium Visa carries the following requirements:
Valid Passport ‒ Passport must be valid for the duration of your stay.
