1 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this guideline is to provide all the information governing the application for Occupation

Permits and Residence Permits.

The Occupation Permit (OP) is a combined work and residence permit which allows foreign nationals

to work and reside in Mauritius under 3 specific categories namely:

1. Investor

2. Professional

3. Self-Employed

Foreign nationals, above the age of 50 years, may also choose to retire in Mauritius under a Residence

Permit (RP).

An OP or a RP is issued for a maximum period of three years and the permit holder may submit a new

application at expiry of the permit.

Dependents of an OP or RP holder may also apply for residence permits for a duration not exceeding

that of the OP or RP holder.

2 CATEGORIES OF OCCUPATION/ RESIDENCE PERMITS

2.1 OCCUPATION PERMIT There are 3 categories of OP under which a non-citizen can apply. The non-citizen should apply for

an OP under the category which best reflects his nature of activities in the country.

Investor

under the Companies Act 2001.

2. An Investor should make an initial transfer of USD 100,000 or its equivalent in freely

convertible foreign currency in the account of the company under which the application will

be made.

3. The business activity should generate an annual turnover of at least MUR 2 million for the first

year and cumulative turnover of at least MUR 10 million for the subsequent two years.

4. A company may have more than one investor as defined above. However, the initial

investment and annual turnover will be a multiple of the number of Investors in the company.

5. Existing investor operating but not registered with the board of Investment having a net asset

value of at least USD 100,000 or its equivalent in freely convertible foreign currency and a

cumulative turnover of MUR 12 million during the preceding 3 years with a turnover of at least

its equivalent in freely convertible foreign currency and a cumulative turnover of MUR 12

million with a turnover of at least MUR 2 million in any one year.

An Investor wishing to bring in high-tech machinery and equipment as part of the investment of USD

100,000, must transfer a minimum of USD 25,000 or its equivalent in freely convertible foreign

currency and the remaining balance in terms of high-tech machinery and equipment. The following

criteria must be satisfied to be eligible under the scheme:

supplier and a report from a recognized Chartered Valuator.

should submit the bill of lading to the Occupation Permit Unit at time of submission of the

application.

the invoice and bill of lading when evaluated by the Custom Department in Mauritius, the

investor should transfer the remaining balance in a freely convertible foreign currency.

2. The high-tech machinery and equipment must be used for the proposed business activity.

3. The application under this category must be submitted online through Channel A (Approval in

Principle). The OP application system can be accessed from the link:

3.1, Channel A.

2.1.1.2 Investor – Innovator Occupation Permit

In its quest to achieve the status of high-income economy, the Government of Mauritius is reiterating its support to investors conducting Research and Development (R&D) in highly innovative sectors. The Innovator Occupation Permit is geared towards companies having a consequential Research & Development component as part of the total operational expenditure but with low gearing with respect to capital requirements. To attract these low capital intensive start-ups and innovators, applicants eligible to apply under the scheme will be required to make an initial investment of USD 40,000 or its equivalent in freely convertible currency.

Eligibility

i. The scheme applies to companies conducting R&D in qualifying sectors including but not limited to life and health sciences, technology, ICT, Fintech, biotechnology, Nano technology, light manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and design.

ii. The R&D expense component should constitute of at least 20% of total operational expenditure during the research phase.

iv. The business plan should clearly depict all expenditures related to R&D activities. v. Yearly audited accounts should clearly identify R&D expenditure and any deviation from

initial expenditures stated in the business plan.

5

Qualifying Expenditures

The following costs may qualify as Research and Development:

i. Direct R&D staff costs ii. Subcontracted R&D costs

iii. Externally provided R&D staff iv. Clinical trial volunteer costs v. Prototypes

vi. Software directly used in R&D vii. Consumable items

viii. Any other expenditure deemed to have been incurred with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding.

For greater clarity, the following costs will not be considered as R&D expenditure:

i. The production and distribution of goods and services ii. Capital expenditure.

iii. The cost of land iv. Expenditures incurred for the use and the creation of patents and trademarks, as these

are the cost of protecting the completed R&D.

Application Process

The application must be submitted online through Channel A (Approval in Principle). The OP

application system can be accessed from the link: http://op.investmauritius.com. The application process will follow the same steps as Section 3.1, Channel A.

information on its qualifying activities and the Board of Investment reserves the right to accept or

reject qualifying R&D expenditures based on sound interpretation of the innovative and added value

aspects of the project.
