Mauritius for Digital Nomads & Remote Workers
Trade the commute for a lagoon. Live in Mauritius on the Premium Visa while you keep working for clients and employers abroad.
Mauritius has quietly become one of the world's best bases for remote work: safe, English- and French-speaking, on a convenient GMT+4 time zone that overlaps both European and Asian business hours, with fast connectivity and a beach lifestyle that most nomad hubs can't match.
The Premium Visa makes it easy. If your income comes from a business or employer outside Mauritius, you can live on the island for up to a year at a time. We confirm your eligibility, handle the paperwork and help you land softly — from where to base yourself to getting connected.
The essentials
No local investment
Qualify on foreign income and remote work — no Mauritian company or capital required.
Set up to work
Fast fibre, coworking spaces and reliable power make full-time remote work practical.
A real lifestyle
Surf before work, dive at the weekend — the island is small and everything is close.
A path to staying
If you decide to stay for the long term, we help you move onto an occupation or investment route.
Frequently asked
How much income do I need for the Premium Visa?
The route is designed for people earning their income abroad, with evidence of around USD 1,500 per month. We confirm the current requirement and the documents needed before you apply.
Can I work for a Mauritian company on this visa?
No — the Premium Visa is for income earned outside Mauritius. If you want to work for or start a local business, the Occupation Permit is the right route, and we can advise on switching.
Is the internet good enough for remote work?
Yes. Fibre broadband is widely available and coworking spaces are established in the north, west and central hubs. We can point you to areas and buildings with the best connectivity.
