Buying Property in Sri Lanka
Foreign buyers in Sri Lanka are primarily allowed to purchase condominium units, while direct ownership of land is prohibited but can be leased. Buyers should budget for additional costs such as stamp duty, VAT, and legal fees, which can add significant amounts above the purchase price.
Regional regulations can vary and updates to laws are common.
Notably, a 100% foreign buyer tax on apartment purchases was introduced in 2023.
