Mauritius has introduced the Premium Visa allowing a non-citizen who intends to stay in Mauritius for a maximum period exceeding six months to one year as a tourist, retiree or a professional willing to come with his/her family and carry out his business or work remotely from Mauritius. Such Premium Visa is renewable. 

The Premium Visa is required for those staying in Mauritius for a period of 180 days in a calendar year. Foreign nationals staying for a period of less than 180 days in a calendar year will be granted a tourist visa only. 

In terms of taxation, a Premium Visa Holder will be taxed on a remittance basis. Money spent in Mauritius using foreign credit or debit cards will not be deemed to have been remitted to Mauritius. The holder of a Premium Visa will be liable to pay income tax on money brought and deposited in a bank account in Mauritius. Such bank deposits will not be subject to income tax if a declaration is made to the effect that the required tax has been paid thereon in his country or origin or residence. 

Coming to Mauritius gives you a relaxed lifestyle and also allowing your children to be exposed to a host of cultures and languages. Most foreign nationals who have settled in Mauritius, now calls Mauritius as its home! So why not come and experience the most beautiful islands in the world?
