Pursuant to Art. 42 of the Constitution of Bangladesh, no person other Bangladeshi citizens may hold ownership right over land in Bangladesh. The Transfer of Property Act 1882 and the Registration Act 1908 are the two main laws regulating transfer of property in Bangladesh. These two laws do not have any provisions related to foreigners, but provide for the transfer of property by a 'living person'  to one or more other 'living persons', which is defined to include a company or associations or body of individuals, whether incorporated or not. Legal practitioners point to uncertainties regarding the rights of foreign investors, including foreign-owned companies incorporated in Bangladesh, to own immovable property in the country. For the purposes of the OECD FDIRRI, drawing upon the interpretation of some legal practitioners and on the definition of 'foreign private investment' in the Foreign Private Investment (Promotion and Protection) Act, it is assumed that foreign-owned entities duly incorporated in Bangladesh under the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies (RJSC) are treated as Bangladeshi persons and thus are authorised to own immovable property used for business purposes at similar terms to Bangladeshi citizen. However, it is assumed that this right is not extended to branches of foreign companies in Bangladesh. These are assumed to only be able to hold (long-term) leasehold rights over land for business purposes in Bangladesh.
"Rights to property
42. (1) Subject to any restrictions imposed by law, every citizen shall have the right to acquire, hold, transfer or otherwise dispose of property, and no property shall be compulsorily acquired, nationalised or requisitioned save by authority of law.
