The purchase process

Which documents does a foreign buyer usually need?

This is general information, not individual legal or tax advice. Rules and fees may change: before a transaction, check the primary sources and consult a specialist about your circumstances.

A passport and a contract are normally required for a straightforward purchase. Depending on the document language, filing method, bank, and deal structure, a translation, power of attorney, and source-of-funds evidence may also be required.
