There are no restrictions on Cape Town property ownership by non-residents, save for a prohibition on illegal aliens owning immovable property within South Africa.

There are, however, procedures and requirements which must be complied with in certain circumstances, such as the local registration of entities registered outside of South Africa where it purchases property in South Africa and the appointment of a South African resident public officer for a local company whose shares are owned by a non-resident.
