Investor access to land ownership

Through legal texts such as Law No. 177/AN/91 2nd L of October 10, 1991 on the organization of land, the Republic of Djibouti has undertaken vast reforms to facilitate access to land ownership for Djiboutian or foreign investors. .

These legal and institutional arrangements allow any Djiboutian or foreign investor, man or woman eligible for the benefits and guarantees of the investment code, to buy, rent or resell land belonging to the State or to a private owner. We will present in the table below a description of the services in charge of the management of land domains, procedures for access to land in Djibouti.
