Mauritius Launches $1 Million Golden Visa

Mauritius has announced a new Golden Visa program aimed at attracting high-net-worth individuals and global investors.

According to statements made in parliament by Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam, the program introduces a high-entry investment route combined with one of the fastest processing timelines currently available in the global mobility space.

What are the key requirements?

The program requires a minimum investment of one million US dollars, which must be deployed within the first 12 months of arrival.

Authorities have indicated that the program will be selective, with an estimated 100 applicants expected per year.

Successful applicants will receive a multiple-entry visa, valid for up to two years, with the option to renew upon reapplication.

Why is this program gaining attention?

Speed is the defining factor.

According to government statements, processing is expected to take just five working days, placing it among the fastest high-tier investor visa options globally.

In addition, the program is structured to channel investment into priority sectors such as fintech, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, renewable energy, and global treasury operations.

This positions Mauritius not just as a residency destination, but as a jurisdiction actively competing for international capital and business activity.
