15.06.2025 22:02:55 Yes, foreigners can buy real estate in Poland, but there are certain legal requirements depending on nationality and property type. Citizens of EU countries generally have the same rights as Polish citizens when purchasing property and do not need special permits. However, non-EU foreigners often must obtain a permit from the Ministry of Interior or the local voivode before buying land or residential property. The process includes submitting an application detailing the property and buyer information. It usually takes a few weeks for approval. The buyer also needs to sign a notarial deed in the presence of a Polish notary, who confirms the legality of the transaction. Additionally, the property purchase must be registered in the land and mortgage register. Working with a local lawyer or notary is highly recommended to navigate legal formalities and ensure compliance with Polish laws.
