NRI Home Loan for Portugal Residents

Q: Can a Portugal resident NRI get a home loan in India without visiting?

Yes. Most lenders accept a notarized Power of Attorney (attested via the Indian Embassy in Portugal) along with digital or video KYC, so the process can be completed remotely, with physical presence typically needed only at final registration in some cases.

Q: What is the minimum income required for an NRI home loan from Portugal?

Most Indian lenders group Portugal with the USA and other non-Gulf countries under one income bracket, commonly around USD 3,500/month equivalent — roughly EUR 3,200-3,300/month at typical exchange rates, though this varies by lender and loan amount.

Can an NRI in Portugal get a home loan in India? For property you want to buy, one that's under construction, or to refinance an existing loan — but eligibility for Portugal-based applicants varies by lender, so confirm with an advisor before proceeding. See the note below.

Check My Eligibility

⚠️ A genuine flag, not boilerplate: some lenders' published eligibility criteria exclude certain EU countries, including Portugal, for reasons specific to their own compliance policies. This varies by lender — some on our panel may serve Portugal-based applicants, others may not. We'll confirm which specific lenders apply to your situation before you proceed, rather than assume eligibility.
