Can I immigrate when I buy a house abroad? Is it true?/You don't say.

The so-called foreign immigrants who buy a house can simply be understood as "buying a house" overseas, which is stipulated by some countries. When buying a house in one's own country, the owner, spouse and children can live legally and freely in the country and enjoy the same welfare benefits as local residents.

In fact, the saying that foreign buyers can immigrate is mostly a publicity stunt. Because real estate is only a development project, it is not linked to immigration in the immigration policies of most countries. For example, real estate management and immigration policy in the United States are completely separated. Foreign buyers can buy a house in the United States, but they can't immigrate. For immigrants, the United States has a special EB-5 bill. The bill stipulates that in the United States, at least $500,000 is needed to go to specific projects (note: these projects are usually audited by the US government, not including buying a house locally) to create three to five job opportunities in order to get a US green card. It can be seen that in most countries, housing immigrants and immigrants are completely different.

Of course, the saying that "you can immigrate if you buy a house abroad" does exist in some countries, such as Spain. Although the Spanish immigration law does not clearly stipulate that "you can immigrate through buying a house", there are indeed many cases of successful immigration to Spain through buying a house. According to its legal provisions, foreigners can get a permanent green card in Spain after five years as long as they spend no less than 654.38 million euros on buying a house in a designated area (such as Malaga) and their families move to Spain to settle down. Judging from the actual income level of high net worth families in China, this threshold is not too high. Other countries such as Latvia.

In short, although there are cases like Spain, in most countries, buying a house has nothing to do with immigration.
