Premium Travel Visa
What if you want to stay in Mauritius longer?
Mauritius has introduced the Premium Travel Visa, valid for a period of one year and renewable, to welcome travellers who wish to extend the feeling of well-being provided by our beautiful turquoise sea, lush greenery and friendly people, all in a relatively COVID-safe destination.
The Premium Travel Visa is available to you if you are a non-citizen intending to stay in Mauritius for a period exceeding six months up to one year as a tourist, retiree or professional wishing to come with your family and conduct business remotely from Mauritius. Note that Mauritius has been designated as one of the best countries for remote working.

Requirements for the Premium Travel Visa:
To qualify for the Premium Travel Visa, you must provide the reasons for your long stay and sufficient travel and health insurance for the initial period of stay, while meeting the following criteria:
- You must not enter the Mauritian labor market under any circumstances; your main source of income and profit must be outside Mauritius.
- You must produce documents to support your application, such as the purpose of the visit, accommodation booking, etc.
- Other basic immigration requirements.
Additional Important Information:
- Applications for the Premium Visa must be submitted online through the dedicated platform.
- Visa processing takes approximately 48 hours and there is no processing or application fee.
- The Premium Visa is open to citizens from over 110 countries
- If you come to Mauritius for a vacation and decide to stay longer than the 180 days of your tourist visa, you can apply for the Premium Visa from within Mauritius.
- Mauritian-source income of a Premium Visa holder (e.g., emoluments for work done remotely in Mauritius) will be taxed.
- A foreign national staying in Mauritius under a Premium Visa may apply for a Residence Permit as a retired non-citizen.
