There is no restriction on foreigners buying property in France: same contract, same notaire, same costs. Buying a home does not give a right to live in France, which depends on your visa. Buying from abroad.

The documents for your funds

French anti-money-laundering rules require proof of the origin of the money: bank statements, salary slips, business accounts, the deed of a property sold, or the proof of a family gift. The funds must come by bank transfer from an account in your name. Prepare them early, it avoids delays. Paying from abroad.
