Brett Massoud

If you have a malagasy embassy near you, you should visit them… the paperwork here can sometimes be confusing but it is only that, paperwork, nothing to get stressed about, you just need to follow the procedures. Read More

marrying indigenous magalasy will it help foreigner have ground? by danieldickson601

Wat does Madagascar grant foreigners as right wen they marry indigenous magalasy

Brett Massoud

It might be useful to note that the Malagasy law does, more or less, allow foreigners to hold land in their own name. You must get the freehold title in the name of your Malagasy partner, and, then you get a notary to do a contrat de bail ... Read More

No a tourist visa cannot be changed to any other sort of visa. I am guessing that one of you is Malagasy? You should go to the EDBM in Antaninarenina and ask them about visas, they are the specialists. Read More
