Four foreign nationals have been granted approval to purchase land in the Virgin Islands after Cabinet cleared their applications for Non-Belongers Land Holding Licences.
The scheme permits individuals from outside the Territory to own property subject to legal oversight. Cabinet's decision allows these four applicants to proceed with their transactions under the Territory's existing framework for such acquisitions.
No information has been released about who the applicants are, what properties they plan to buy, where those properties are located, or how much money is involved in the deals. Releasing such details would give the public a clearer picture of the economic impact and the scale of foreign investment flowing into the local real estate market.
The approvals arrive as the Territory continues to grapple with questions about who owns land, whether housing remains affordable for residents, and how to attract outside money without sidelining the needs of Virgin Islanders.
