Premium Visa

The Mauritius Premium Visa is a residence permit designed for digital nomads, remote workers, and retirees who wish to stay in the country long-term. The visa allows holders to reside in Mauritius for one year and can be renewed. Applicants must demonstrate a stable remote income source and are prohibited from working locally or for local businesses. Mauritius attracts global remote workers with its stable political environment, high quality of life, and favorable tax policies. The visa does not require a local employer, making it suitable for freelancers, business owners, or employees of overseas companies. Once approved, holders can legally reside in Mauritius and access local medical and educational services (with private insurance).

• Must be at least 18 years old.
• Hold a valid passport with validity covering the intended stay.
• Demonstrate a stable overseas income source sufficient to cover living expenses in Mauritius.
• Provide a police clearance certificate.
• Purchase health insurance covering Mauritius.
• Commit not to work locally or for local businesses in Mauritius.
• Provide proof of accommodation (e.g., rental contract or hotel booking).
