Approximate indicative prices. Market varies significantly by location, specification, and development type.
Essential info
Buying property in Mauritius
🌍 Can foreigners buy?
Yes — foreign nationals can purchase freehold property in Mauritius through approved schemes: the Property Development Scheme (PDS), the Smart City Scheme (SCS), and the Invest Hotel Scheme (IHS).
Non-PDS purchases require EDB approval and have higher transaction costs. Most expats buy through PDS developments for ease and to qualify for the residence permit.
📋 The purchase process
- Identify a PDS-approved development
- Reserve unit and pay deposit (typically 10%)
- Due diligence — appoint a local notary
- Sign deed of sale before a notary
- Pay remaining purchase price
- Title registration with Conservator of Mortgages
- Apply for residence permit (if PDS qualifying)
💰 Transaction costs
Residence permits via property
Property Development Scheme (PDS) — live in Mauritius by buying property
Purchasing a PDS-approved property for USD 375,000 or more entitles the buyer and their dependants (spouse and children under 24) to a Mauritius residence permit valid for the duration of property ownership. This is one of the most straightforward routes to Mauritian residency for non-citizens.
Minimum investment
USD 375,000 in an approved PDS or Smart City development
Who qualifies
Buyer + spouse + dependent children under 24
Permit duration
Valid as long as you own the property — no fixed term
