Registration of a company will always be the first step, whether you plan to conduct business, obtain a residence permit or purchase real estate. At the moment, according to European standards, it is possible to buy an apartment in private ownership for an individual, even without a long-term visa or residence permit. But, this statement does not apply to apartments in cooperative ownership and real estate purchased with a mortgage. It is possible to get a mortgage loan for housing so far only for a company, and for a company whose charter contains only one type of activity – renting out real estate. Therefore, to begin with, it is worth consulting which of the registration options to prefer. If we are talking about buying an apartment using a loan, then if you have a license, the bank will refuse a mortgage. If the apartment is bought by an individual, or real estate in cooperative ownership, and the company is necessary to obtain a residence permit, or entrepreneurial activity, then the company will need to be registered with the business department, i.e. get a license. In most cases, a license for free activities will do.
