I bought overseas property while living in Australia and had to declare it in my annual tax return. I also looked into any double tax agreements to avoid getting taxed twice.
I bought a villa in Dubai while living in Australia and had to get all my documents certified here first, then attested by the UAE embassy. It took a few weeks but wasn’t too hard. I went with club villas at dubai hills since they offered freehold ownership and good facilities, plus their team helped sort out a few things with paperwork, which made it way less stressful.
