If you sail into Port Vila and decide this is the place you would like to own property, it's not at all difficult to do. And if you buy property in Vanuatu you automatically qualify for a residence permit.
In Vanuatu you can buy a south pacific island and go live by yourself (or develop it). You can buy waterfront property of many different kinds. For example, there is waterfront land where you can build your own home and tie your yacht up outside it.There are other lots available and they have been selling very well. Or you can buy a waterfront home already built. There are both waterfront and non-waterfront homes for sale in Vanuatu.
If you are thinking of spending time in Vanuatu but not necessarily living there full time, you should consider the new waterfront apartments at the Yachting World complex in Port Vila. The appartments will be available for long term rentals when it is finished next year. The location of these apartments is the very best in the South Pacific.
One reason to spend time in Vanuatu is because if you happen to be a resident here you can save quite a bit on your taxes. Vanuatu has no corporate or personal income taxes. Vanuatu is an offshore finance centre and having a place to stay at a lovely location on the waterfront for 5 or 6 months of the year is just perfect. In fact, by being a resident in Vanuatu for more than 6 months out of the year many people would save as much in taxes as the cost of the waterfront property in Vanuatu. |
