Is it true that non-Mexicans cannot buy property on the coasts of Mexico?<\/h5>\n

Foreigners can acquire property on the coast, although the procedure is not the same as that of a Mexican citizen.<\/p>\n

The Mexican Constitution prohibits foreigners from obtaining title to property in the restricted zone, which comprises 100 kilometers from the borders and 50 kilometers from the coasts, however, a Fideicomiso (Bank trust) is established to obtain title. In this way the foreigner is the beneficiary of the trust, where he can build, rent, sell and even inherit the property. This is the legal way for a foreigner to acquire a residential property in the coasts of Mexico.<\/p>\n
