A residence permit through property is connected with the purchase of a property, but the conditions are set not only by the price of the deal: the appraised value of the property is taken into account, and the rules and thresholds can change. For this reason the question of residency is worth considering before the purchase, not after it.
The main material describes the procedure for obtaining a residence permit through property. A separate material explains how the appraisal is carried out: who performs it, which documents are needed and how several properties are treated. The material for Israelis shows how these questions look for a buyer from Israel, including the tax side.
What to prepare: a list of the properties you are considering, questions for a lawyer about the requirements for the appraisal and documents, and an understanding of how residency may affect taxes. The current conditions are best checked against the sources listed in the guides.
