The Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS) has been created to generate more investment in Mauritius. It was also designed to facilitate the acquisition of residential properties in Mauritius by foreign nationals and companies.
An IRS is a project that encompasses the construction and sale of luxury residential units developed on areas exceeding 10 hectares and offering up-market facilities such as golf, restaurants etc.
These units must match a set of pre-defined criteria and must be approved by the Board of Investment (BOI) based in Mauritius.
Any foreign citizen who invests a minimum of 500,000 dollars US (excluding taxes) to acquire a property under the IRS scheme will be granted a residence permit in Mauritius.
For more information regarding legal issues linked to IRS projects, we invite you to visit the Board of Investment’s (BOI) website:
