What are the fastest ways to obtain residency in Mauritius?

[Rome]

I'm exploring the fastest ways for a foreigner to obtain mauritius residency. I have visa-free access for 90 days but I'm looking for longer stay.

make an appointment reservation at the immigration office in Port Louis, wait there for couple⁠ of hours, smile and ask for extension - sadly possible only last minute (like a⁤ week before the end of your current visa)
get registered as self-employed and you can⁣ to this repeatedly - not sure whether every 3 months, my information might be stale⁢ (about 3 years)

There are several avenues: buy property, invest in a business (start your own), be a‌ self-sufficient worker (digital nomad type visa), or be a self-sufficient retiree. They all take a‍ couple of weeks/months to do.

Do you know of any⁠ listing site or resource which keeps track of visas around the world? I've been using⁤ imidaily.com but it doesn't appear that they keep track of all of them.

No, any such website will eventually become impossible‍ to keep up to date without becoming a full-time job because things change.

Can mauritius be considered a good country on a personal tax level ?

 

[JackAlabama]

well it depends. Not the best but not the worst. But everything‍ there seems quite bureaucratic and full of rules.
Given its very remote location and strong⁠ dependence on imports of all sorts idk if its a good spot.

at least it's easy and transparent... 15% flat
very true
great connection to Europe and small time shift makes it pretty⁣ decent option... yet small India

If you live uniquely on your capital gains (ie Irish ETF), no taxation. It's just‌ an example.

For a passive retiree living with financial investments, the inconvenient is that some‍ brokers are unavailable, and no DTA with US.
