Since 1 October 2026, residence permit applications linked to certain property schemes in Mauritius have been subject to a processing fee of USD 50 per person. This non-refundable fee applies to the main applicant and each dependant.
The Economic Development Board (EDB) published the notice on 4 November 2026. The fee follows an amendment to the Immigration Act 2022, enacted in August 2026, with the relevant application-fee provision taking effect in October.
Eligible schemes
The requirement covers the Integrated Resort Scheme, Real Estate Scheme, Invest Hotel Scheme, Property Development Scheme, PDS relating to Senior Living and Smart City Scheme. It also extends to residence applications associated with apartment acquisitions under the G+2 framework of the Non-Citizens (Property Restriction) Act.
Payment by card
Applicants must pay by card at the EDB cashier’s office on the ground floor of 7 Exchange Square, Wall Street, Ebene. Payment hours are Monday to Friday, from 09:00 to 12:00 and from 13:00 to 14:30.
Each application must include a completed Residence Permit Application Payment Form. This requests the main applicant’s details, the number of people applying, the property scheme and the project name. Either the applicant or a representative must sign a declaration confirming the accuracy of the information supplied.
The EDB’s communiqué states that, in the event of any ambiguity in the information provided, the provisions of the Immigration (Permits) (Prescribed Fees, Guarantees and Application Form) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 shall prevail.
