Short notes for non-resident buyers, drawn from official sources collected on 13 Nov 2026. This is research, not legal advice. Confirm on the linked pages before you bid. Rules change.

sweden

Generally open: there is no nationality ban on buying property. The same agricultural limits apply to Swedes and foreigners.

  • An agricultural property in a sparsely populated or reparcelling area often needs an acquisition permit from the County Administrative Board (Länsstyrelsen) within three months, unless an exemption applies.
  • From 1 July 2026, anyone registering title needs a Swedish personal identity number or a coordination number (samordningsnummer) from Skatteverket.
  • Cheap leisure houses sometimes sit on leasehold (arrende or tomträtt). That is buyable, and we flag it.

Länsstyrelsen on agricultural purchases · Lantmäteriet on title

norway

No nationality ban. The filters that matter are konsesjon (municipal permission to acquire) and boplikt (a duty that someone lives on the property).

  • Most ordinary homes and many holiday properties are concession-free, notably built property of up to 100 dekar (10 ha) with no more than 35 dekar of fully or surface-cultivated land.
  • Even when concession-free, the buyer often files an egenerklæring (self-declaration).
  • Some municipalities tighten the rules to stop year-round homes being used as holiday houses. Always check the municipality before treating a cheap house as a vacation place.

If you are not an EU or EEA citizen and you are buying real estate on its own property, the usual house or mökki on its own land, you usually need a permit from the Ministry of Defence (Act 470/2019).

  • Housing-company shares (asunto-osake) are exempt, as is a purchase made together with a spouse or common-law spouse who is an EU or EEA citizen.
  • A typical beautiful lake cabin on its own plot is real estate, so a US or Asia-based buyer should assume a Defence permit is part of the deal.
  • Transfer tax context (not a foreigner-specific rule): 3% on real estate and 1.5% on housing shares, of the debt-free price, per InfoFinland. Permit fees are not restated here; use the Ministry page.

Denmark is skipped. A holiday home generally needs Civilstyrelsen permission, which asks for particularly strong ties: their own example is a week of holidays in Denmark every year for the past 25 years.
