– Can a foreign citizen, with non-permanent residence in Cuba, own a home?<\/p>\n

No. The Law is clear on this matter. Only Cuban natural persons with domicile in the country and foreigners who are permanent residents in the national territory are subject to this legal norm.<\/p>\n

See article 2, second paragraph, of the General Housing Law, modified by article 1 of Decree Law 288 of October 28, 2011.<\/p>\n

\u2013 If the foreign citizen is married to a Cuban citizen and the marriage arranged between them was formalized in accordance with the legislation in force in Cuba and therefore in civil and family matters, the assets acquired within the marriage form part of the Marital Community of Property. In this case, would not the common money and therefore the home be an asset of both?<\/p>\n

No. Certainly, money acquired after the formalization of the marriage is an asset that belongs to both spouses, but the legal norm that prevails in this case is the specific one on housing and this does not recognize as a subject of it the foreign spouse who does not reside permanently in the country. If the spouse were Cuban and an immigrant, whose rights were confiscated, he or she is not subject to this right either.<\/p>\n

See article 2, second paragraph, of the General Law on Housing, modified by article 1 of Decree Law 288 of October 28, 2011.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Can a Cuban citizen who is a permanent resident, or a Cuban with a residence permit abroad, or a foreign citizen who is a permanent resident in Cuba, own more than one permanent residence home?<\/p>\n

Only one permanent residence home can be owned.<\/p>\n

See article 2, paragraph 4, of the General Housing Law, modified by article 1 of Decree Law 288 of October 28, 2011.<\/p>\n

\u2013 The fact that the property is located in a beach or country area, that is, a place of rest or summer, does it mean that I can have a home in the city and another on the beach or in a rural location?<\/p>\n

It means that in addition to the home for permanent residence or occupation, it is legitimate to have another one that is located in an area intended for rest or summer, but that second home, that is, the one located in said area, must have that concept, of rest or summer. The location of the property in the aforementioned places does not mean that its purpose is solely that. It is worth noting, for example, that on the beach of Varadero many people own their properties as permanent residents, because they permanently occupy them. It is also valid to point out that the purchase and sale of homes provided for and authorized by the Law refers only to homes for permanent occupation.<\/p>\n
