How to choose the right property abroad

Buying property abroad isn't just an investment.
For some, it's a way to relocate and obtain a residence permit; for others, it's a way to earn rental income, invest, or buy a second home by the sea. On Hatamatata, you can find solutions for any purpose—from an apartment in Dubai to a villa in Spain or a chateau in France. We show real properties, explain the purchasing rules, and help you understand how things work in different countries.

Property for Living and Residence Permits

If you're looking for a country to move to, start with those where real estate grants residency.
In Turkey (Antalya, Alanya, Mersin), Cyprus (Limassol, Ayia Napa, Paphos), Montenegro (Budva, Kotor), and Greece (Athens, Crete), you can quickly obtain a residence permit by purchasing real estate.
These countries are popular with families who value safety, healthcare, schools, and a seaside climate.

We explain how to buy property abroad, what documents are required, and what's important to check before the transaction. We walk you through the process step-by-step, from property selection to title registration, and offer practical advice to buyers.

Real Estate as a Source of Income and Investment

If your goal is to preserve capital and generate a stable income, consider areas with a clear economic climate and high rental demand.

• UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) — 7-9% annual yield, flexible terms, and mortgages in Dubai for foreign buyers
• Turkey (Alanya, Antalya, Istanbul, Bodrum, Mersin) — interest-free installments, a developed rental market, and rising prices in euros
• Thailand (Phuket, Pattaya) — hotel-managed apartments with guaranteed returns
• Indonesia (Bali, Canggu, Uluwatu) — villas for short-stay rentals, high occupancy year-round
• Cyprus (Ayia Napa, Limassol) — a combination of income, a reliable jurisdiction, and EU residency
• Spain (Marbella, Costa Brava) — villas in Spain and apartments for rent and vacation rentals

Hatamatata offers investment projects with transparent ROI, flexible installment plans from developers, and profitability calculations.

Real Estate for Citizenship and Golden Visas

If you want to obtain permanent residency abroad or citizenship by investment, real estate offers a legal route. Golden Visa programs operate in Greece, Portugal, Spain, Cyprus, Turkey, and the UAE.
The buyer receives residency and, after a few years, the opportunity to apply for a passport.
We explain how each program works: the required investment amounts, the transaction process, and which countries are suitable for families and which for investors. All programs are transparent and legal: Hatamatata partners with licensed immigration and legal partners.

Real Estate for Seaside Living and Personal Comfort

If you're looking for a seaside property—for vacation, work, or a second residence—consider countries where quality of life and investment security are combined. Popular destinations:

• France (Côte d'Azur, Cannes, Nice) — from apartments with terraces to historic mansions and chateaux in France
• Spain (Marbella, Costa Brava) — comfortable climate and developed infrastructure
• Italy (Tuscany, Lake Como, Liguria) — authentic homes and high rental demand
• Thailand (Phuket, Koh Samui) and Indonesia (Bali) — popular short-stay properties with year-round rentals
• Cyprus (Ayia Napa, Limassol) — European-level service and the possibility of obtaining a residence permit

We explain what you need to know before buying: how the property registration process works, how to check the developer, and what taxes the owner pays.

Commercial and Development Real Estate

If you're investing heavily, consider land for development, hotels, street retail, and industrial properties. The most active markets are the UAE, Cyprus, Montenegro, France, and the United States (Texas, Florida).
Interest is growing in agricultural and green assets—vineyards, farms, and solar power plants. Hatamatata analyzes real estate investments based on return on investment, liquidity, and income, so decisions are based on facts, not emotions.

How does buying overseas real estate work?

We've put together a step-by-step guide to help you understand the transaction process in different countries:

• Selecting a property and checking documents;
• Reserving and signing a contract;
• Opening an account and transferring funds;
• Registering ownership;
• Receiving keys and documents.

We explain the stages of buying real estate, what to consider when calculating costs, and how to obtain a mortgage or real estate loan abroad. For most countries, purchasing remotely is possible, with full legal support. Real estate is more than just square footage. This is a way to choose a place where you feel calm, secure, and promising—be it an apartment in Dubai, a house in Alanya, or a villa in Bali.
