What people say about Curaçao

Sources agree that foreign buyers face no nationality-based limits on owning property in Curaçao, which uses Dutch-style civil law and requires a notary for every transfer (LegalClarity, RE/MAX BonBini, Armenian Lawyer).

  • Positive Foreign buyers face no ownership restrictions; a notary is mandatory and Dutch-style civil law applies
  • Mixed Closing costs: 4% transfer tax plus notary and registry fees, roughly 5-8% in total
  • Mixed Freehold and leasehold both exist; leasehold carries an annual ground fee and renewal uncertainty
  • Concern Mortgages for non-residents are harder and need a larger deposit
