Overseas Property: The World’s Most Reliable Investment
- International Property Alerts
- October 1, 2025
In a global economy shaped by shifting markets and evolving opportunities, one asset class continues to prove its strength: real estate. Unlike stocks or digital currencies, property is tangible, long-lasting, and capable of delivering not only financial returns but also lifestyle value.
At International Property Alerts (IPA), we specialise in connecting investors and lifestyle buyers with opportunities in some of the most exciting global destinations. From thriving villa markets in Bali to branded residences in Dubai, and from retirement properties in Spain to investment funds in Portugal, overseas property remains a cornerstone of wealth building and personal freedom.
Why Global Property Appeals to Investors
1. Tangible Security
Property is more than numbers on a screen—it’s an asset you can see, live in, or rent out. In uncertain times, this tangibility gives investors peace of mind.
2. Diversification Across Borders
Owning property or investment assets in multiple countries helps spread risk. For example, Dubai’s luxury market continues to break records, while Greece and Cyprus are growing steadily thanks to Golden Visa demand, and Southeast Asia is booming with tourism-driven rentals.
3. Lifestyle and Legacy Value
Many investors are drawn to overseas property not only for financial reasons but for what it offers personally: a holiday retreat, a retirement plan, or an asset to pass down to the next generation.
4. Rental Yields & Income
With the rise of remote work, short-term rentals, and digital nomad visas, properties in global hotspots are achieving impressive yields. Destinations like Phuket, Lisbon, and Marbella see occupancy rates that often outperform traditional city rentals.
Market Hotspots in 2025
Dubai
- Record-breaking sales and international demand.
- No property tax, no capital gains tax, and high rental yields.
- Luxury branded residences appeal to both investors and lifestyle buyers.
Spain
- Affordable living and strong expat communities.
- Popular retirement destination with year-round rental demand.
- Diverse markets: city apartments in Barcelona, villas on the Costa del Sol, and lifestyle homes in Mallorca.
Portugal
Golden Visa reforms: as of October 2023, residential real estate no longer qualifies for Golden Visa residency.
Investors now focus on:
- Investment funds / venture capital funds (min. €500,000).
- Scientific research funding (min. €500,000).
- Cultural heritage or arts contributions (min. €250,000).
- Business creation that generates jobs.
Still one of Europe’s most attractive destinations for quality of life, with modest stay requirements for investors and a path to residency or citizenship (currently 5 years, though proposals may extend this to 10).
Greece & Cyprus
- Both offer Golden Visa residency through real estate, with relatively low entry points compared to other EU countries.
- Strong rental demand in tourism-driven cities and islands.
- Long-term appeal as both lifestyle and investment destinations.
Bali & Phuket
- Tourism markets drive high rental yields (12–16% annually in some villa projects).
- Affordable entry points for investors compared to Europe.
- Popular among digital nomads and long-stay travellers, ensuring consistent demand.
Emerging Markets
Turkey, Cambodia, and Mexico are attracting investors for their competitive prices and growth potential.
Early entry into these markets often provides higher appreciation over time.
Residency and Visa Benefits
Property investment isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it can also be a route to global mobility.
Spain: Residency permits available via real estate investment, though thresholds are high (€500,000+).
Portugal: Golden Visa no longer available through residential real estate, but alternative qualifying investments remain (funds, research, arts, business).
Greece: Golden Visa still available from €250,000 real estate investment.
Cyprus: Permanent residency via property purchases starting from around €300,000.
Dubai: Long-term residency visas (5–10 years) available with qualifying property purchases.
