Trusts & Foundations
Vehicles for wealth and succession planning — holding assets for the long term, across generations and borders.
Under the Trusts Act 1989; no separate legal personality, mainly for wealth and succession planning; trustee holds assets for the benefit of beneficiaries.
Under the Foundation Act 2012; hybrid between a trust and a foundation, has separate legal personality, for charitable or private (including succession) purposes.
None of these structures grants residency on its own. Establishing a structure and obtaining the right to reside and work are two separate processes handled by two different authorities. Thresholds, fees and requirements reflect the position as of August 2026 and should be reconfirmed with the Economic Development Board or licensed Mauritius counsel before being relied on.
