Are foreigners allowed to own property in Kenya?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Kenya if foreigners are allowed to own property, they answered...

"Foreigners are allowed to own property in Kenya, but there are certain restrictions in place. Foreigners are not allowed to own land in Kenya, but they can own buildings and other structures on the land. Foreigners can also own shares in companies that own land in Kenya. Foreigners are also allowed to lease land in Kenya for up to 99 years. In order to own property in Kenya, foreigners must obtain permission from the Kenyan government," said a member in Kenya.
