A French estate, Geneva on your doorstep
For international buyers, owning a substantial property on the French side of the border can be particularly attractive. France generally does not require special prior permission to acquire residential property merely because the buyer is a non-EU national. By contrast, purchases of Swiss residential real estate by foreign non-residents may be restricted under the Lex Koller rules.
Usual conveyancing, due diligence and any applicable land-use requirements remain relevant. The exact position depends on the buyer and the property.
French residence options: assistance available
Long-stay visitor visa. For applicants wishing to live in France without professional activity, with suitable resources, accommodation and health insurance.
Talent – Economic Investor. For qualifying direct business investments in France, generally from €300,000, together with the applicable employment and other criteria. Purchasing the residence alone is not the qualifying investment.
FintechLex can assist interested buyers with both routes. The appropriate route depends on each applicant’s individual circumstances and eligibility under French immigration regulations.
Also on offer: a Belle Epoque lakefront villa in Evian-les-Bains.
