Foreigners are not allowed to own land in the Philippines but there are some ways to work around this. Foreigners can legally own condominiums, houses, and other types of buildings, but they are prohibited from owning the land on which it sits. One option is to buy a freestanding house and lease the property it sits on. Leasing property in the Philippines: Under the Investor’s Lease Act of the Philippines, a foreign national can enter into a lease agreement with a Filipino landowner for a long-term lease with an initial period of up to 50 years, with a one-time option to renew for 25 years. Another way is to Marry a Native: If you are married to a Filipino citizen, you can buy property in your spouse’s name. While your name won’t be on the title, it can be included in the contract to buy the property. You can also Buy Through a Company: Corporations can own land in the Philippines, provided Filipino citizens own 60% or more of the company—the rest can be owned by a foreign partner or partners. Corporations that meet this equity stake requirement must be registered with the government Board of Investment (BOI) for permission to buy, sell, or act as an intermediary in a real estate transaction. When buying property outside of your native country, to help ensure that everything goes as smoothly as possible, and to protect your rights, consult with an experienced real estate professional and use an attorney specializing in real estate transactions.
