Real Estate in Bolivia
Last updated on Jul 23, 2023
Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Bolivia should begin by researching the local real estate market. They should look for listings on websites such as Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com, as well as local real estate agents. Homes in Bolivia typically include basic amenities such as running water, electricity, and gas. Many homes also have air conditioning, internet access, and security systems. Foreigners are allowed to own property in Bolivia, but there are certain restrictions. For example, foreigners are not allowed to own land within 50 kilometers of the border. Additionally, foreigners must obtain a special permit from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to purchase property.
How do I find a place to live in Bolivia?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Bolivia is to use online resources such as websites and classifieds. Websites such as Expat.com, Global Property Guide, and Bolivian Property Listings are great resources for finding rental properties in Bolivia. Additionally, classifieds such as Craigslist and local newspapers can be a great way to find a place to live in Bolivia. It is also possible to find a place to live in Bolivia by networking with people who are already living in the country. By talking to people who are already living in Bolivia, you can get a better understanding of the local housing market and find a place to live that fits your needs," explained one person living in Bolivia.
