Rent and resale value in dirhams, pounds, euros or Singapore dollars balance wealth held in rupees.

Residency routes

Dubai’s 10-year Golden Visa starts at AED 2 million of property. Other markets have their own long-stay options.

Holiday lets in Phuket and Bali, long lets in London and Berlin, serviced apartments in Dubai.

Education and family

A home near your children’s university in London or Singapore, which you can let after they graduate.

Low-tax locations

From India to the keys

How an overseas purchase works with us

  1. Brief

    Your budget, goal (income, growth, visa or a holiday home) and the markets you are drawn to.

  2. Shortlist

    Three to five properties with price sheets, video walkthroughs and the numbers for each.

  3. Visit

    See the property and the neighbourhood in person. When your purchase completes through us, we refund your travel cost for the visit.

  4. Due diligence

    Developer registration, title, escrow for off-plan units, service charges and the local taxes you will pay.

  5. Remit and sign

    Your bank sends the money under LRS with Form A2. We coordinate the booking and the local lawyer.

  6. Handover and letting

    Snagging, furnishing, a rental manager if you want one, and the papers your CA needs for Schedule FA.

Good to know

Before you invest abroad

Yes. Under the RBI’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) each resident individual can send up to USD 250,000 abroad per financial year, through an authorised bank, and this can be used to buy property. Family members buying together can each use their own limit. Your bank will ask for the sale agreement and Form A2. Confirm the current limit and paperwork with your bank before you sign.

If you are resident in India for tax, your worldwide income is taxable here. Tax paid in the other country can usually be credited under the double taxation agreement between India and that country. Overseas property must also be declared in Schedule FA of your income tax return. Speak to your chartered accountant before you buy.

Banks collect Tax Collected at Source on LRS remittances above a yearly threshold. It is not an extra cost: you can adjust it against your income tax or claim it back in your return. Rates and thresholds change with each budget, so check the current figures with your bank.

In some places. Dubai gives a 10-year Golden Visa for AED 2 million of property. Georgia and Malaysia have residence routes linked to property or long stays, and Monaco asks for a home there before granting residence. Thailand does not give a visa for buying property. Rules change, so we confirm the current position for your market.

Developer names on this page show who is active in each market; they are not a list of our partners. We tell you clearly when we are an authorised channel partner for a project, and we share the developer’s registration and escrow details for every off-plan unit we put in front of you.

We arrange video walkthroughs, developer presentations and independent inspections. When you are ready to travel, we plan a short viewing trip around your shortlist.

General information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Speak to your chartered accountant and a lawyer in the destination country before you commit.
