Mauritius is blessed with favourable weather conditions for approximately eight months of the year. An island paradise of translucent waters, white sand beaches, a tranquil and harmonious atmosphere, ever-improving infrastructure, and a reasonable cost of living makes it a fantastic option for investment and relocation.
There are two ways for high nett-worth individuals (HNWIs) to obtain an additional passport or Mauritius citizenship by investment.
The Mauritius Investment Corporation Ltd was established in 2020 as a Sovereign Wealth Fund in Port Louis, Mauritius.
Mauritian Citizenship
The Mauritius Sovereign Fund will accept a non-refundable investment of $1 million from foreigners who want to become citizens of Mauritius. For an extra USD 100,000 per passport (non-refundable), investors can include their spouse and any dependant children.
Mauritian Passport
USD 500,000 to the Mauritius Sovereign Fund is required in order to obtain a Mauritian passport. Additional contributions of USD 50,000 (non-refundable) per passport can be made to obtain passports for the investor’s spouse and dependant children.
The Sovereign Fund scheme gives investors the opportunity to be naturalised and apply for citizenship after living in the country for two years.
Taxation
The favourable tax structure in Mauritius is an attractive prospect for investors in the Mauritius citizenship programme. Residents of Mauritius benefit from significant tax breaks. The full corporate tax rate is 15%, although tax benefits for multinational investors and enterprises result in an effective rate of just 3%. Mauritius also has no capital gains tax or dividend withholding tax.
