Policy on Sale of Land to Foreigners

04 Apr 2014

The Policy, which comes after the announcement made by Government last year to discontinue the sale of freehold land in Seychelles to Non-Seychellois, provides some flexibility on foreign ownership of land. Subject to meeting certain criteria, Non-Seychellois may be able to acquire freehold land which is held in private ownership only. Consequently Non-Seychellois by law will not be able to purchase State Land, save for a few specific exceptions, but may hold such on a long term lease following an approved development on the land.
