What is the Retirement Residence Permit?
The Retirement Residence Permit — officially a Residence Permit for a Retired Non-Citizen — lets a non-citizen aged 50 or over live in Mauritius as a resident. It is issued by the Economic Development Board (EDB) under the Immigration Act 2022 and sits alongside the three occupation permit categories within our wider occupation permit services.
It is a residence permit rather than a work permit — it does not allow gainful employment — but it is issued for up to 10 years, is renewable, and after five qualifying years opens a pathway to a 20-year Permanent Residence Permit. A retiree may also invest in a Mauritian business (without being employed in it), and those who later wish to work can move to a work permit or occupation permit. We manage the whole application for you, remotely.
What it takes to qualify
The retirement route is refreshingly simple: meet the age requirement and show a steady transfer of funds from abroad. Here is exactly what the EDB looks for.
Who can apply
- Any non-citizen aged 50 years or above
- No employment or business income required
- Spouse and dependents can join you
- Renewable for as long as you meet the criteria
To get started

- Transfer USD 24,000 annually, or USD 2,000 per month

What our retired clients say
Real outcomes from retirees who made Mauritius their home with DNB HR Associates.
At 58 I wanted a simpler base in the sun. DNB explained the funding criteria clearly and handled my whole residence permit remotely — I barely had to lift a finger.
The police clearance and bank statements felt daunting. DNB walked us through every document, and my wife's dependent permit was sorted at the same time.
Professional and patient from start to finish. They confirmed my pension income qualified and kept me updated through every stage. Highly recommended.
