Short answer
Yes, non-EU citizens can buy property in Portugal with few restrictions. You'll need a Portuguese tax number (NIF) and may need a fiscal representative. The process involves a promissory contract, due diligence, and a deed. Mortgages are available to foreigners, but terms vary. Buying property does not automatically grant residency; you need a separate visa. Always consult a local lawyer and confirm current rules with the Portuguese authorities.
