Real Estate in Kyrgyzstan
Last updated on Jun 10, 2023
Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Kyrgyzstan should start by researching the local real estate market. They can look for listings online, contact local real estate agents, or attend open houses. Homes in Kyrgyzstan typically include basic amenities such as running water, electricity, and heating. Many homes also have modern amenities such as air conditioning, internet access, and security systems. Foreigners are allowed to own property in Kyrgyzstan, but there are some restrictions. Foreigners are not allowed to own land, and they must obtain a special permit from the government in order to purchase a home. Additionally, foreigners are not allowed to own more than one property in Kyrgyzstan.
How do I find a place to live in Kyrgyzstan?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One way to find a place to live in Kyrgyzstan is to search online for rental listings. Websites such as expat.com, expat-blog.com, and expat-housing.com offer listings of apartments and houses for rent in Kyrgyzstan. Additionally, you can search for rental listings on local classifieds websites such as kyrgyzstan.expatads.com and kyrgyzstan.craigslist.org. You can also contact local real estate agents who specialize in rental properties in Kyrgyzstan. Finally, you can ask friends and family who live in Kyrgyzstan for recommendations," said one person in Kyrgyzstan.
