Portugal is open to foreign buyers with no restrictions on ownership. A NIF (tax number) and Portuguese bank account are required, and most buyers engage an independent lawyer to handle searches, contracts, and the public deed.
Mortgages are available to non-residents, typically up to 60–70% LTV.
The Golden Visa programme no longer accepts residential real estate as a qualifying investment (changed 2023).
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
