Goa is for Goans, that's the message of the state government, which
has decided to ban foreigners from buying land for personal purposes.
The government announced this in the state assembly on Friday and also
passed the Goa Registration Amendment Bill.
The government has also appealed to Goans not to sell land to
foreigners and preserve their land.
Foreigners can now buy land only for business purposes but only after
following specific and stringent conditions such as a business visa
plus an explicit clearance from the RBI.
Now foreigners on tourist visa can not buy land.
