Investment property: India

We act on the buyer's side: shortlist, checks, end-to-end deal support.

India is one of the largest real estate markets in the world: Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and other megacities keep growing along with the economy. For a foreign non-resident investor, however, the market is effectively closed. Under India's foreign exchange rules (FEMA), residential and commercial property can only be bought by non-resident Indians with NRI or OCI status - that is, people of Indian origin. A foreigner without such status cannot simply buy an apartment in India; exceptions are rare and require special approval from the Reserve Bank of India. There is no residency or citizenship program tied to property purchase.

We start by honestly assessing whether the Indian market is available to you at all. If you or your family members hold NRI or OCI status, we help with property selection, legal due diligence, transaction support and ownership structuring. If not, we will say so directly and suggest alternative markets that solve the same goal - whether that is income, diversification or a residency route in another country.

FAQ

Can a foreigner buy property in India?
Generally no. Residential and commercial property can only be purchased by people with NRI or OCI status (Indian origin). A foreigner without Indian roots needs special permission from the Reserve Bank of India, which is rarely granted. Agricultural land is off limits even for NRIs.
Does buying property in India lead to residency or citizenship?
No. India has no residency or citizenship by investment program linked to real estate. Owning property has no effect on your visa status.
Where do I start if I am interested in India?
With a check of your legal status: whether you or your spouse qualify for NRI/OCI. Contact us and we will assess free of charge whether the Indian market is open to you, and if not, suggest comparable alternatives.
