Several countries permit international students to own property while studying, though regulations vary. In Canada, students can purchase real estate, but non-residents may face additional taxes. Australia allows property ownership, but foreign buyers need approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB). The U.S. has no restrictions, enabling students to buy homes, though financing may require a U.S. credit history.
In the UK, international students can own property, but stamp duty and higher taxes apply. Germany and New Zealand also permit ownership, but local laws may impose conditions. Always consult local real estate and immigration laws before purchasing.
