Full guide →

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.

The buying process

1
Get a NIF
Apply for a Portuguese tax number (Número de Identificação Fiscal). Non-EU residents need a fiscal representative.
2
Open a bank account
Open a local account to handle the deposit, taxes, and ongoing utility payments.
3
Engage a lawyer
Hire an independent lawyer (not the seller's) to run title and planning searches.
4
Sign the CPCV
Promissory contract (Contrato de Promessa de Compra e Venda) with a deposit, typically 10–30%.
5
Final searches & funds
Lawyer confirms clean title; you transfer the balance and pay IMT and stamp duty before completion.
6
Escritura (deed)
Sign the public deed at a notary or via online platform Casa Pronta. Keys handed over.
7
Register the property
