Threshold doubled, family category abolished — both in one budget

Occupation Permit — Investor
Mauritius

The 2026-2027 Budget doubled the threshold from $50,000 to $100,000. The same budget completely abolished the separate 10-year Family Occupation Permit category — holders of that status need an alternative route.

A good fit if

You can invest from $100,000 in a Mauritian business at the current, doubled threshold.
You can maintain a growing annual turnover — from Rs5M by year 3, from Rs8M by year 5.
You are considering specifically the Investor category, not a family or professional route.
You are prepared for a 10-year horizon with renewal while conditions are maintained.

A poor fit if

You are counting on the outdated $50,000 threshold — it was doubled to $100,000 by the 2026-2027 Budget.
You were counting on a separate Family Occupation Permit category — it was completely abolished by the same budget; holders need an alternative route.
You are not prepared to maintain growing turnover metrics after startup — this is a separate condition on top of the initial investment.
You need a direct official page specifically on Occupation Permit — the EDB portal was fetched directly but no detailed page on this category was found in the direct crawl.

Frequent questions

Why do many sites still say $50,000?

That figure applied before the 2026-2027 Budget — with its enactment the threshold doubled to $100,000, but the old figure continues to appear on unupdated sources.

What happens if I already had status under the family Occupation Permit category?

Per the available data the category is completely abolished — holders of that status are advised to seek an alternative route; the exact transition mechanism is not disclosed on this page.

Is growing turnover mandatory after business startup?

Per the available data, yes — annual turnover from Rs5M by registration year 3 and from Rs8M by year 5 is required for status renewal.

How is the Investor category different from Professional?

Investor is tied to a business investment (from $100,000) and company turnover; Professional is tied to employment with a minimum salary of Rs50,000/month after the ProPass and Expert Pass categories were merged.

Why is there no direct link to an official EDB page with these figures?

The Economic Development Board’s official portal (edbmauritius.org) was fetched directly, but a detailed page specifically on the Investor Occupation Permit category was not found in the direct crawl — the figures are confirmed by convergence of independent sources.

Does this status lead to Mauritian citizenship?

No — this page covers a 10-year Occupation Permit with renewal, not citizenship or a separately described path to it.
