Hi,

can a foreigner buy property in the Democratic Republic of Congo?

If so, is it complicated? What is the process of purchasing a property in the Democratic Republic of Congo?

Any tips for buying property, such as a check-list of items to verify ?

Thanks in advance for participating!

Christine

Nope don't think it is possible, you can get 50 year leases though

I am from DRC and I have seen so many expats buying properties and tough, mining properties in the DRC. It's easy. For more information you can contact me directly.

In congo it is possible to buy property but through a confident congolese friend. Anyway, the government give a lease of over 50 years to foreigners...even mining field!
