Is it possible to obtain a residence permit if the title deed (TAPU) has not yet been issued?
Yes. To obtain a tourist residence permit on the basis of a property purchase, a notarized preliminary sale and purchase agreement is sufficient. The TAPU is not a mandatory requirement for a residence permit, unlike citizenship by investment, where the TAPU is obligatory.
