Occupation Permits
An occupation permit allows a non-national to reside and work in Mauritius. It
is both a work and residence permit. An investor, a professional or a
self-employed person may be eligible under the following conditions:
| Investor |

The proposed business activity should generate an
annual turnover in excess of Rs 3 million |
| Professional |
|
The basic monthly salary of a professional under a
contract of employment should exceed Rs 30,000 |
| Self-employed |
|
The annual income from the proposed activity should be
in excess of Rs 600,000 |
It takes three days to process and obtain a residence permit
which is issued for a maximum period of three years.
The dependents of an occupation permit holder may also apply for residence
permits.
