Are foreigners allowed to own property in Lima?
When we asked expats in Lima if foreigners are allowed to own property, they answered...
"Yes, foreigners are allowed to own property in Lima. There are no restrictions on foreign ownership of real estate in the country, which means that non-Peruvian citizens can purchase and hold property in their name. However, it is essential for foreigners to obtain a tax identification number, known as a "Carnet de Extranjería," to complete the property purchase process. Additionally, it is recommended to work with a local attorney and real estate agent to navigate the legal and bureaucratic procedures involved in buying property in Lima," remarked another expat who made the move to Lima, Peru.
