Moving to Mauritius from Zimbabwe
Stability, security and a strong education — an English-speaking island with property ownership for foreigners and an established Southern African community.
Mauritius offers Zimbabwean families the stability, security and continuity many are looking for: a stable currency and economy, no capital-gains or inheritance tax, excellent international schools, and a safe, English-speaking society with a well-established Southern African community.
Foreigners can own freehold property, and a qualifying purchase or business investment confers residency for the whole family. We guide Zimbabwean clients through the right route, the property and company set-up, and the practicalities of settling in.
The essentials
Stability and security
A stable, well-run island economy — a large part of the appeal for relocating families.
Education that travels
British, French and IB schools that open doors to universities worldwide.
Own property
Buy approved freehold real estate — and gain residency with a qualifying purchase.
A familiar community
A well-established Southern African community makes settling in straightforward.
Frequently asked
What's the most straightforward route for a Zimbabwean family?
Often a qualifying property purchase (from USD 375,000) or an Investor Occupation Permit (from USD 50,000), each of which includes the spouse and children. We confirm the best fit and manage the legal and immigration steps together.
Is there an established community from Southern Africa?
Yes — Mauritius has a well-established community from across Southern Africa, which, together with international schools and English being widely spoken, makes settling in easier.
