Rule
While the decree is in force, a foreigner who has notified over-limit pre-2024 contracts may register contracts for dwellings (not land) at the District Land Registry, request the usage-certificate right and pay the title transfer fees, and receive a ten-year usage certificate. Ownership remains with the seller; the certificate cannot be cancelled during the period except on transfer or at the holder’s request; holders of properties under the holiday-homes regime receive an indefinite certificate; the certificate confers use and enjoyment but not ownership, and its rights other than the right to sell cannot be transferred; a positive security check and full payment of the price are conditions; no certificate is available for property in restricted zones; contracts not transferred within ten years become void.[1][2]
