The very first question
asked by the non
seychellois visitors: can we,
as Non seychellois,
buy a property in Seychelles?
The Seychelles territory (land)
is quite limited, there is a
strong pressure from the local
community to have access to an
accommodation, land and /or
apartments/ houses.
On March the 10th 2021, the
council of Ministers took a
courageous decision regarding
residential bare land:
applications for the sale or
transfer of residential land to
non-Seychellois are frozen,
pending a report by the Ministry
of Lands and Housing on the
details of land which had
already been sold, leased or
transferred to foreigners.
The rule applies to existing
properties, eventhough we
feel (not official) that some
special circumstances could
generate special decisions.
Imagine
that an investor of 5 Millions
US$ in an approved business
venture, considered as very
useful to the Seychelles,
whished to buy as well a villa
for his family???
As regarding the villas, a few
businesses have been granted the
right to sell properties to Non
Seychellois. These properties
are in a high bracket of price
and to name them: Eden Island,
Eden View Village, La
Louise Residency, Perseverance
condominiums and luxury villas
within tourism resorts (Four
Seasons, Desroches, Zil Pasyon).
