Buying property in Vanuatu

Hi,

can a foreigner buy property in Vanuatu?

If so, is it complicated? What is the process of purchasing a property in Vanuatu?

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

Thanks in advance for participating!

yes as lease hold only
BUT to be honest right now renting is the best option.
as of 12th 2011 land in Vanuatu is now in a buyers market.
Buy and you pay stamp duty unless you buy a company owning the land which is very common and saves the 7.5% stamp duty..

SO buy IF you want a Long term hold but rent IF you want to live here.
At least for the first year or two.
Vanuatu is to put it simply.. a very Interesting place and One needs to experince the Issues b4 committing .

A great place to holiday semi retire abut tough to make a living IF the world economies are not expanding'

I know a guy who has written some great articles about buying a home or even an island in Vanuatu. You can read the article here:

or look at homes for sale as well:

I've been wishing I could buy a Private Island... maybe someday
