Then not allowing dual citizenship is major downside 😢

[@dlukton]

Yeah, the only way I'd consider getting a citizenship with a country that didn't allow dual citizenship would be if it were really easy to get.... and really cheap. Otherwise FUGGEDABOUDIT.

[@CryptoNerd91]

Mauritius is one of those rare passports that gives access to both russia and china. Not sure if it support dual citizenship. Also has a sizeable Asian population especially if one is from india. Lot of indians were settled as slaves by british on Mauritius. Beautiful island in the indian ocean and it's well connected to middle East and indian subcontinent. Really good option for a base in the Africas

[@marcomartinez1843]

According to Bronwen Manby(2016) from Citizenship Law in Africa, Mauritians that were born in the country can have dual citizenship, but naturalized Mauritians can't.

[@CryptoNerd91]

Hi, I also had the feeling that the real estate offered for purchase for foreigners are completely overpriced. Are there no interesting real estate options in Mauritius which are not part of the residency programs?

[@GoodlifeInvestor]

It’s a tiny country and good property deals are usually hard to come by as the market is saturated already.

[@Juliukas101]

If they don't allow dual citizenship it's a waste of time.

[@GoodlifeInvestor]

With up to 10 hours of power cuts a day and failing infrastructure, South Africa is a terrible option.

[@travelingexistence3742]

I would really like to confirm if there is a way to obtain Mauritian citizenship while keeping my existing citizenship (dual citizenship).

[@GoodlifeInvestor]

This is one for which you won't find clear answers online. There are several considerations that apply, including exceptional cases.

[@JohnSmith-zo6ir]

The short answer is no.

[@dps4336]

Naturalized Mauritian citizens have to forfeit any other passports - that's my understanding.

[@allykhan8594]

Any market that has a 2 tier property market; keeping foreigners out, then it's not worth it.

[@lainthor5808]

No, it's not that easy to get Mauritius passports if you're not born around here. So forget bout it 😂

[@SuperSapna]

South Africa PR not offering that kind thing😢

[@patienceisalpha]

Great country, great people, food can make you fat really fast tho. Also it's a really small island, but there are good amenities (super u supermarkets etc..). Good news is you're in Dubai in a heartbeat. But it's still like south Africa. It's far from Europe if that's your thing. But there is a daily AF flight which also opens more options. Also many people have been resident on the ground for a long time and that works well, not sure about naturalization easiness. Tax system is OP there so that's really nice.

If I join your Africa members only channel, will you be able to provide references to vetted lawyers who can help with the residency process for each African country you discuss?

[@GoodlifeInvestor]

If you are talking about SF, we work with a good lawyer there, you can book a call so we can understand what you are looking for. Membership videos currently only have two countries in Africa (I plan to add more in future), and provide info on the process, list of docs, govt resources (as in form links, portal, and stuff). There is no contact info of any lawyers - so I don’t think that’s what you are looking for.

[@mkishon]

@@GoodlifeInvestor Actually, I am more interested in Mauritius

[@GoodlifeInvestor]

Got it. Yes. The guide doesn't have attorney contacts. With Mauritius there are limited attorney options - at least good ones. There are some with questionable reviews. The one I work with isn't accepting new cases, but has good network and can provide a referral. Apart from that, I am currently evaluating couple of other attorneys. Ps: Demand for Mauritius has picked up, the market is tricky and only a handful of attorneys to work with. Feel free to reach us and can possibly look for a good one.

[@mkishon]

@@GoodlifeInvestor Thank you. Yes, my research says the same thing about legal help in Mauritius. I will do so in the future.

[@GoodlifeInvestor]

Yes. One of them is Mauritius under certain exceptions.

[@Lee55233]

I have Mauritian heritage from my great great grandmother, do they allow citizenship that far back ?

[@lainthor5808]

Yes and no. Here the law it's very much about paperworks u need to prove with legal documents your grand parents were indeed born here and it's kinda complicated. Mauritian citizenship is hard to get if your not born in Mauritius, If u have parents born in Mauritius which I have it's very easy. It took me only 6 weeks I think to get the passport. But with great grand parents like ancestors which I think u mean. Might be tricky,! 😂

[@nothingness4884]

From my research, acquiring their citizenship is "almost impossible" that's why I cancelled the idea of investment from my mind. Beautiful island country, but whenever you see a country anti-naturalization, they are basically anti-foreigner. my advice: run away.

The country is changing. It’s opening up and welcoming investors with new schemes unlike before. The future looks bright, think positive.

​@@nothingness4884they just don't want peasants from other third world countries coming here like ants that's it. Mauritius is a rich country bro and wanna protect their population from outside influences and wanna keep their culture alive. 😂 But there are many multiracial people there as well who are Mauritians. Mauritians is not only a typical type of person like in china for example. It's like america u see all skin color people and they all live together peacefully and that's why they don't wanna want immigrants to come in and disturb it's peace 😂

[@jensschreiner5351]

The problem I see as a "white" person in SA is that the racial tensions are very real. I'm not sure how it is for Asians such as indian people, but I personally deem Mauritius more viable if you're of white ethnicity. Money will only get you so much security. If you see how white farmers are being treated by the government as well as the racial tensions between white and colored people.

Is Mauritius still offering the $500K fast-track citizenship option? I was reading some sources that stated they offered a 2-3 years path to naturalization if you increased the investment. I'm currently working on South African citizenship by descent but it's a big uphill battle. Mainly due to the history of the country documentation can be seriously shoddy. I'd been researching banking solutions in Mauritius as a compliment to my (hopefully) eventual SA passport, but RBI and possible naturalization options in Mauritius' are also very interesting to me.

[@GoodlifeInvestor]

Yes they may have such option but it’s not that popular because no dual citizenship for naturalized citizens allowed and also physically residency requirements are quite strict. Not many are interested in living there two years straight. Residency is nice cos it’s flexible. Ps: in SF attorney makes a huge difference. Like they can push for an order beyond certain time.

[@AE1P]

@@GoodlifeInvestor I thought the restriction on dual was waived for golden/fast track visa applicants. I guess I misunderstood. Living there for 2-3 years is a non-issue for me. Thanks for the info. Residence is still interesting, for sure. By "SF" do you mean South Africa? I've got a law firm working on my case (best in the country on citizenship issues relating to pre-1990s - they were part of the advisory committee that helped draft the new citizenship & immigration laws in the early 2000s). Nonetheless it's still an uphill battle. Certain aspects of the legislation are unclear or have loopholes due to failed foresight at time of drafting... It is what it is. Descent claims are rarely ever straight forward when human rights abuses are in the mix - it's nearly impossible to preemptively legislate around rectifying every single aspect of how multiple generations of people might be affected by past unjust policies. Hoping my case might help set some precedent so that in future others won't have such a difficult time reclaiming what's theirs.

[@GoodlifeInvestor]

@@AE1P Where did you read about the restriction being lifted? Did they change this in the constitution?

[@AE1P]

@@GoodlifeInvestor As I said, I probably just misunderstood. I definitely read "dual citizenship permitted" on a few of the RCBI specialist law firms' sites in relation to the investor & fast-track programs, but the info could very well have just been presented unclearly. JH Marlin comes to mind, though they're not the only ones. I was sifting through many different sources with varying levels of reliability, which is why I asked.

[@GoodlifeInvestor]

@@AE1P that’s interesting, yes if a lawyer states it, must’ve read it in the constitution somewhere. I’m no legal expert, so I’ll surely defer to a lawyer. I’ll take a look into this nonetheless.
