Last reviewed: October 2026
Overview
Grammont helps individuals, families and entrepreneurs plan their relocation to Mauritius around the right residence or Occupation Permit. We assess eligibility, prepare documentation and coordinate the application and follow-up with the relevant authorities. Once you arrive, we support banking introductions, company setup where required and tax-residency planning with qualified advisers.

The Family Occupation Permit has been abolished. Families now join through the main permit holder: a spouse, dependent children, parents, and step or adopted children may apply for dependent residence permits, which do not by themselves allow gainful employment.
All applications are processed directly through the Economic Development Board (EDB) and the Passport and Immigration Office. Requirements, thresholds and processing timelines reflect current statutory criteria. EDB Mauritius
