Everything you need to know about legal structures, tax implications, and the acquisition process for foreign investors entering the Romanian market.

## Can Foreigners Buy Property in Romania?

Yes. EU citizens can purchase property directly. Non-EU citizens can acquire property through a Romanian company (SRL). In both cases, the process is straightforward with proper legal guidance.

## The Acquisition Process

A typical property acquisition follows these steps: property identification, legal due diligence, preliminary agreement, notarial deed, and registration with the Land Registry. The entire process typically takes 4-8 weeks.

## Legal Structures

Most international investors hold Romanian property through an SRL. This provides liability protection, tax efficiency, and easier management of multiple properties.

## Costs to Consider

Beyond the purchase price, buyers should budget for notary fees (0.5-2%), legal fees, property transfer tax, and registration costs.
