Can Foreigners Buy Property Here? Free Country Checker
Most real-estate sites never mention it, but many countries restrict, tax, or outright ban foreign nationals from buying residential property. Search below for real, sourced foreign-ownership rules across 191 countries — from outright bans (Canada, Australia) to workarounds (Mexico's coastal trust requirement, Cyprus's Council of Ministers approval) to fully open markets (Japan, UAE, Israel, France, Germany).
These are structural ownership rules sourced from each country's own government body or statute (linked below each entry) — not legal advice, and law can change. Always verify with a local lawyer before relying on this for a purchase decision.
