Living in Mauritius has Pros and Cons

Mauritius is fast becoming an extremely attractive destination for many South Africans seeking a better lifestyle for themselves and their families. What exactly are the pros and cons of living on this island?

Mauritius' close proximity to South Africa makes it, at face value, a more comforting choice of destination for would-be immigrants than, for example, the United States or Europe. The island is now officially classed as a middle income country: According to the recent Human Development Index for 173 countries, Mauritius ranks 67th globally, 40th among developing countries and second in Africa. At the end of 2007, the population of the Republic of Mauritius stood at 1,264,866, with an estimated 21,000 immigrants.

Invest in Mauritius Property

South Africans seeking to invest in property - whether for residential, holiday or investment purposes - now have the option of purchasing property in Mauritius

With its idyllic lifestyle and non-onerous tax regime, Mauritius offers purchasers and their dependant families permanent residency status as long they continue to own property in Mauritius. William Campbell of Lew Geffen Sotheby's International Realty explains that the so-called Integrated Resorts Scheme (IRS) was launched in Mauritius by way of amendment to the relevant legislation concerning property ownership by foreigners in 2002. The scheme paved the way for the development of tracts of land – essentially but not exclusively golf estates – which are open to foreign ownership.
