Legal and Practical Risks in Real Estate-Based Residency-by-Investment Programs
Real estate is a popular route to residency, offering both physical assets and legal status. However, this option comes with serious legal and practical risks that vary by country and must be carefully assessed.
Unclear Ownership Rules and Government Restrictions
Many countries impose restrictions on foreign ownership. These may include limits on property type, size, or location. Additional approvals and strict resale rules can delay the process or disqualify the investment entirely.
Mismatch Between Market Price and Approved Valuation
In some jurisdictions, real estate may be listed at prices that appear to meet residency requirements, but official valuations used by immigration authorities can fall short. This gap between market price and approved value can render a property ineligible—despite meeting the advertised threshold.
​
Residency Tied to Property Ownership
Residency often depends on holding the qualifying real estate for several years. Selling or transferring it early can cancel your permit. Some programs also require physical presence or use of the property, complicating things for mobile investors.
​
Liquidity and Exit Limitations
Markets in many residency destinations lack depth, especially outside urban areas. Reselling may be restricted to foreign nationals or other residency-seekers, limiting exit options and reducing resale value.
​
Hidden Costs and Taxes
Additional costs—such as stamp duty, legal fees, and non-resident property taxes—can erode returns. Rental income may also be taxed at high rates. These should be factored in before any commitment.
Program Changes and Political Risk
Residency programs can change overnight. Investment thresholds may rise, eligible properties may change, or entire programs may shut down. Investors risk losing eligibility due to factors beyond their control.
​
Construction and Developer Risk
Investing in off-plan projects carries risk. Delays, poor execution, or failed developments may leave buyers with non-qualifying properties—and no residency.
