For non-Filipino buyers
Foreign Buyers & Retirees
Foreigners cannot own Philippine land. They can own condominium units — within a limit that catches out buyers who do not check it before paying.
The rules here are constitutional, not administrative, which means no developer, agent or lawyer can work around them. Understanding the limit before you commit is the difference between an asset and a dispute.

Can foreigners buy Philippine property?
