PRIVATE CLIENTS
Mauritius Residency, Relocation & Property Services
Your interests. One point of coordination.
Moving to Mauritius is rarely a single transaction.
Residency, property, business interests, banking and professional relationships can all become part of the same decision.
Varemont Private provides selected private client services in Mauritius, helping individuals, families and entrepreneurs coordinate the practical requirements surrounding residency, relocation and property acquisition.
Our role is not to provide every conceivable private service. It is to understand what you are seeking to achieve, assist where we have relevant expertise and bring together the appropriate professionals where additional specialist support is required.
Mauritius Residency & Relocation
From considering Mauritius to establishing yourself here.
For many clients, the journey begins with a simple question: Could Mauritius be right for me?
Once that decision becomes more serious, the questions become more practical: which residency route may be relevant, what documentation may be required, where to live, whether to rent or purchase property, and how existing business interests may be affected.
Varemont helps clients move from initial consideration towards practical implementation.
Our assistance can include coordination surrounding Mauritius residency applications, relocation planning, documentation preparation, practical establishment in Mauritius, property requirements, corporate requirements where relevant, banking coordination where appropriate and introductions to independent immigration and other professional specialists.
Where a matter requires specialist immigration, legal, tax, financial or other regulated advice, that advice is provided by appropriately qualified independent professionals.
Mauritius Residency Options
Different objectives require different routes.
Mauritius provides a number of residence and Occupation Permit pathways for international entrepreneurs, investors, professionals, self-employed individuals, retirees and families. Following the 2026 reforms, the eligibility requirements for several categories have changed, making it especially important to select the route that reflects the client’s actual circumstances and long-term objectives.
Investor Occupation Permit
For entrepreneurs establishing and operating a business in Mauritius.
The standard Investor route requires an initial investment of at least USD 100,000 into the Mauritian business. From the third year of registration, the business is expected to generate annual turnover of at least MUR 5 million, increasing to MUR 8 million from the fifth year for renewal.
Innovative Start-Up
For founders developing innovative, technology-led or knowledge-intensive businesses.
The Innovative Start-Up pathway sits within the Investor framework but is treated differently from the standard Investor route. The standard USD 100,000 evidence-of-investment requirement does not apply to qualifying Innovative Start-Ups. Applications may be assessed directly by the Economic Development Board or supported through an appropriately accredited innovation or incubator route, depending on the project and prevailing requirements.
This route may be relevant to businesses in areas such as artificial intelligence, software and ICT, research and development, health technology, fintech, renewable technology and other innovation-led activities. The quality of the innovation, business model, development programme and commercial potential remains central to the assessment.
Self-Employed Occupation Permit
For independent professionals, consultants and specialist service providers establishing themselves in Mauritius.
The activity is expected to generate minimum annual business income of MUR 2 million from Year 3, increasing to MUR 3 million from Year 5 for renewal. The relevant eligibility conditions should be reviewed against the proposed activity and the requirements in force at the time of application.
Initial investment of USD 50,000 (or equivalent in freely convertible currency), be engaged in the services sector only, and provide at least three letters of intent, including two from potential local clients. The USD 50,000 is to be transferred from abroad into the applicant’s Mauritius bank account within the prescribed timeframe.
Professional Occupation Permit
For non-citizens employed by a Mauritian business.
The current framework generally requires a minimum basic monthly salary of MUR 50,000, together with an eligible contract of employment and the applicable Occupation Permit conditions.
Retired Non-Citizen Residence Permit
For individuals aged 50 or above who wish to establish their retirement residence in Mauritius.
The current framework requires an initial transfer of at least USD 2,000 into a Mauritian bank account within 60 days of the permit being issued and, thereafter, transfers of at least USD 2,000 per month or USD 24,000 annually. Additional residence conditions, including minimum-presence requirements, may apply.
Residence Through Property
For non-citizens acquiring qualifying residential property in Mauritius.
Acquisition of qualifying residential property for at least USD 375,000 under an approved framework may provide residence rights to the purchaser and eligible dependants for as long as the qualifying property continues to be held, subject to the applicable scheme and immigration requirements.
Mauritius Golden Visa
For substantial international investors seeking a long-term presence in Mauritius.
The Golden Visa is initially granted as a renewable two-year E-Visa. Under the announced framework, the holder is expected to invest at least USD 1 million within the first 12 months in a qualifying high-value sector. Once the minimum qualifying investment has been made, the holder may become eligible to apply for Permanent Residence, subject to the applicable EDB requirements and implementation rules.
Premium Visa
For eligible non-citizens wishing to spend an extended period in Mauritius while their principal income and business activity remain outside the country.
The Premium Visa can be relevant to remote workers, internationally mobile individuals and families wishing to experience life in Mauritius before considering a longer-term residence route.
It should not be treated as a substitute for an Occupation Permit where the individual intends to enter the Mauritian labour market or operate a local business requiring another form of authorisation.
Dependants & Family Relocation
Relocation decisions are rarely made by one person alone.
Depending on the principal applicant’s residence category and the prevailing rules, eligible spouses, dependent children and certain other qualifying family members may be able to obtain residence status in Mauritius.
We help families understand the practical sequence, coordinate documentation and consider the wider relocation requirements alongside the principal applicant’s residence process.
Which Mauritius Residency Route Is Right for You?
The appropriate route depends on more than meeting a headline financial threshold. Intended activities in Mauritius, business interests, source of income, family circumstances, property plans, tax residence and longer-term objectives should all be considered before an application is made.
Varemont begins with those objectives. We can help identify the route that may be relevant, coordinate the documentation and practical requirements surrounding the application, establish a Mauritius company where appropriate, assist with banking and property requirements, and bring together independent immigration, legal and tax professionals where specialist advice is required.
A Coordinated Relocation
More than an application.
Obtaining the appropriate residency status is only one part of relocating internationally.
A client may also need to consider accommodation, property, business interests, banking, administration and other practical matters.
Varemont provides continuity across the areas in which we are involved. Instead of treating each requirement as an isolated transaction, we consider how the different elements of the client’s move connect.
For a business owner, relocation to Mauritius may involve both personal residency and the establishment of a Mauritius company. For another client, the priority may be residency followed by the acquisition of a home.
The requirements are different. The relationship remains coordinated.
Relocating to Mauritius
A coordinated approach to establishing yourself in Mauritius.
Relocating internationally involves more than obtaining residency.
For entrepreneurs, families and private clients, a move to Mauritius can involve several connected considerations including residency, property, business interests, banking and the practical arrangements required to establish life in another country.
Varemont provides a single point of coordination across these requirements, working with appropriate independent specialists where legal, tax, immigration or other professional expertise is required.
United Kingdom → Mauritius
For UK-based entrepreneurs, business owners and private clients considering Mauritius.
Your move may involve more than establishing residency. Existing UK companies, directorships, property and other interests may continue after relocation, while new personal or business requirements arise in Mauritius.
Varemont can assist with Mauritius residency and relocation, property search and acquisition assistance, Mauritius company establishment where required, existing and new UK corporate requirements, personal and corporate bank account assistance, accountancy and corporate administration, and coordination with independent legal and tax professionals.
France → Mauritius
For French-speaking entrepreneurs, families and private clients establishing themselves in Mauritius.
Varemont assists clients in coordinating the practical elements of the move while recognising that existing personal and business interests in France may continue after relocation.
Our assistance can include Mauritius residency and relocation, property search and acquisition assistance, Mauritius company establishment where required, personal and corporate bank account assistance, accountancy and corporate administration, coordination with French and Mauritius professional advisers where required, and French-speaking client coordination.
One Move. Several Considerations.
The appropriate relocation strategy depends on the individual.
Some clients require residency only. Others need to coordinate residency, property, banking, business and relocation.
An entrepreneur may additionally need to consider how an existing overseas company relates to a new Mauritius business. A property purchaser may need to understand how an acquisition interacts with wider residency plans. A family may prioritise location, schools and the practical realities of establishing life on the island.
Varemont does not approach these as a catalogue of unrelated services. We begin with what the client is seeking to achieve and coordinate the relevant requirements around that objective.
Tell us what you are seeking to establish.
Property Acquisition Assistance
Finding the right property is personal.
For clients considering a home or investment property in Mauritius, Varemont provides selected property acquisition assistance.
We begin by understanding what the client is actually looking for rather than simply presenting a catalogue of available properties.
Our assistance may include understanding the client’s property requirements, identifying potentially suitable opportunities, introducing selected property professionals and developers, coordinating property viewings, assisting with practical acquisition arrangements, coordinating with independent legal professionals, and connecting the property acquisition with residency or relocation requirements where relevant.
For international clients, eligibility to acquire particular property in Mauritius depends on the property and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Varemont does not replace the independent legal advisers involved in a property transaction. Our role is to assist the client and help coordinate the process.
Property as Part of the Wider Decision
Home. Investment. Relocation.
A property decision often sits within a much larger personal objective.
A client may be purchasing a residence because they are relocating permanently. Another may be spending part of the year in Mauritius. Another may be considering property alongside business interests in the country.
Varemont approaches the property requirement within that wider context and, where appropriate, can coordinate the property process alongside residency, relocation, Mauritius corporate requirements, banking assistance and independent legal and professional advisers.
Private Client Coordination
One relationship across connected requirements.
This is at the heart of the Varemont Private proposition.
International personal affairs do not always fit neatly into separate professional categories.
A client considering Mauritius may simultaneously need to speak with an immigration specialist, lawyer, bank, accountant, property professional and corporate services provider.
Varemont can provide a central point of coordination across the areas in which we are involved. We work alongside the client’s existing advisers where appropriate and can introduce independent professionals where additional expertise is required.
Our objective is not to replace those specialists. It is to help the client navigate the process with greater continuity
For Entrepreneurs & Business Owners
Personal and business decisions often overlap.
Many of our private clients are also entrepreneurs, shareholders or business owners.
Their decision to establish themselves in Mauritius may therefore involve both personal and corporate considerations.
Varemont can coordinate the private client requirements with relevant Mauritius corporate services, including company establishment, banking assistance and ongoing corporate administration where appropriate.
This allows the personal and business elements to be considered together while maintaining the appropriate distinction between each area.
Research Mauritius
Understand first. Act when ready.
Relocating internationally is a significant decision, and clients should have access to detailed information before deciding how to proceed.
Our specialist information platform, LiveWorkInvest.mu, provides detailed guidance about living, working, investing and establishing yourself in Mauritius. It is designed for research.
Varemont Private serves a different purpose. When you are ready to discuss your own circumstances and begin coordinating the practical requirements, Varemont becomes the point of contact.
LiveWorkInvest — Research. Understand. Prepare.
Varemont Private — Discuss. Establish. Coordinate.

A More Personal Approach
Selective by design.
Varemont Private does not seek to become a concierge service for every aspect of a client’s life.
Our private client proposition is deliberately concentrated around three areas: Mauritius Residency & Relocation, Property Acquisition Assistance and Private Client Coordination.
Within relocation, we have particular relevance for clients moving from the United Kingdom and France to Mauritius.
Where something sits outside our expertise or requires regulated professional advice, we say so and coordinate with an appropriate independent specialist where required.
That focus allows the relationship to remain personal.
