Foreign legal entities, including foreign-owned firms established in the Kyrgyz Republic in which foreign shareholding exceeds 20%, cannot own residential land plots. Complementary information available at the Investment Promotion and Protection Agency of the Kyrgyz Republic website suggests that foreign persons may acquire buildings and structures as long as they refer to non-residential assets (see below). The housing code establishes that "Citizens, as well as legal entities, have the right to have private property in residential premises [...] [google translate]". Legal entities are not defined in the legislation. For the purposes of the OECD FDIRRI, it is assumed that foreign persons as defined in the Land Code are not allowed to own residential land plots and any residential structure and buildings attached to it. They may only acquire leasehold rights over residential assets. Foreign investors are not restricted from acquiring non-residential buildings and structures.
