Can a US citizen buy property in Tahiti?


Can a US citizen buy property in Tahiti? Foreigners can't buy real estate in French Polynesia. For this reason, they must obtain governmental permission to do so. European Union citizens are exempt from this restriction. French law governs property transactions, and notaries handle the transactions.
