Buying land in Crato as a foreigner

There are no nationality restrictions on buying land in Crato — EU and non-EU buyers follow the same process: get a Portuguese tax number (NIF), sign a promissory contract, then complete the deed before a notary. What matters most is whether a specific plot can actually be built on — the municipal PDM and national RAN/REN restrictions decide that, not the listing label. Before you commit, read our guide to buildability and rustic vs urban land and the taxes and costs to expect.
