    Property Rights for Foreign Buyers in Romania

    Since Romania's EU accession (2007), EU/EEA citizens have full rights to purchase any type of property — apartments, houses, and land (since 2014). Non-EU citizens can purchase buildings and apartments freely, but agricultural and forestry land requires a Romanian company (SRL).

    The appropriate property location depends on the intended use, title documents, planning rules and individual transaction requirements.

    Official transaction costs depend on the transaction and applicable notarial, registration and tax rules.
