Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about buying property and living on Margarita Island.

Can foreigners buy property in Venezuela?

Yes. There are no restrictions on foreign nationals purchasing real estate in Venezuela. You will need a valid passport, a Venezuelan tax ID (RIF), and a local attorney to handle the transaction.

What happened with the OFAC sanctions lift in 2026?

In January 2026, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) lifted key sanctions on Venezuela, reopening the country to American investment, banking, and travel. This has created significant new interest in Venezuelan real estate.

Is it safe to invest in Venezuelan real estate now?

With the sanctions lift, economic recovery, and returning international flights, Venezuela is experiencing renewed stability. Margarita Island has always been one of the safest areas, with a strong tourism economy and international community. However, we always recommend working with verified local agents and legal counsel.
