Foreigners from EU countries and those residing in Romania may be entitled to buy farmland located in towns or villages (intravilan), as well as woodland, according to a draft bill initiated by several Romanian MPs.

Moreover, foreign citizens may also get loans guaranteed by the Government for such acquisitions. The bill still needs to be discussed by the Parliament.

The current law only allows foreigners to buy agricultural land located outside the cities (extravilan).

The draft bill also comes with a series of conditions that will ensure a proper use of the land, according to the MPs. For example, those looking to buy agricultural land or forests must prove they have practiced farming and forestry for at least five years before the acquisition. Moreover, they would only be allowed to buy up to 50 hectares of farmland and use at least 80% of the purchased area.

Cetățenii străini din statele Uniunii Europene și cei cu reședința în România vor avea dreptul să cumpere, pe lângă terenurile agricole din extravilan, așa cum permite acum legea, și terenuri agricole în intravilan, precum și păduri sau terenuri forestiere. Pentru asemenea achiziții, străinii ar putea beneficia de împrumuturi garantate de Guvern.
