Practical notes
Dual citizenship is generally allowed. Confirm any home-country restrictions.
Citizenship is not issued at the moment of purchase. Title, appraisal and holding rules must be met.
The property must meet official valuation rules. Contract price alone is not enough.
Some nationalities or source-of-funds profiles are more heavily reviewed. This is checked at the first review.
