For example, foreigners are not allowed to own land, but they can own buildings and other structures.

How do I find a place to live in Kiribati?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"One option for finding a place to live in Kiribati is to contact a local real estate agent. They will be able to provide you with information about available properties and can help you find a place that meets your needs. Additionally, you can search online for rental listings in Kiribati, or ask around in the local community for recommendations. You may also want to consider staying in a hotel or guesthouse while you search for a more permanent residence," said one expat who made the move to Kiribati.
