Mauritius to launch Citizenship Programme

The island of Mauritius has announced its intention to launch a citizenship by investment programme later this year.

Plans were revealed in the Prime Minister’s 2018/2019 budget speech which is a little short on detail. In summary there will be two programmes, one for the issuance of a passport, requiring a $500,000 investment and another granting citizenship for an investment of $1,000,000. Further fees apply to a spouse and other dependents.

Mauritius is one of only two African countries that offers visa free travel on its passport to the EU Schengen zone. The other being Seychelles.
