The 2022 Global Residence Program Index depicts the top 25 most reputable residence by investment programs around the World, and Mauritius, as the only African country in the list, has shown the remarkable strength of its Residence by Investment Program by ranking 14^th globally (score: 56).

The country attributes this achievement to the prospective schemes in place that allow foreign nationals who invest into one of four main real estate projects - Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS), Real Estate Scheme (RES), Property Development Scheme (PDS) or Smart City Scheme (SCS) - full residence rights including the right to live, work, and retire in Mauritius within two to six months. The local Residence Program further has the ability to be extended to the dependents of the applicants, and a reasonable timeframe for the application process has played in our favour.
