Mauritius: New Immigration Measures Planned Following Budget Announcement

The Minister of Finance has announced immigration measures in the 2022 budget aimed at making the country’s immigration system more investor-friendly. The announced measures include, among others, the introduction of work and residence permit eligibility rights and benefits for residential property owners and shareholders of companies in Mauritius; assisting businesses to recruit foreign national graduates of local tertiary institutions under the Young Professional Occupation Permit; enabling entrepreneurs and students completing their studies to apply for a Premium Visa, which allows work for companies outside Mauritius while in Mauritius; and expediting the issuance of work permits. These measures are likely to pass and be implemented into law over the next 12 months.
