Foreigners cannot purchase a plot in Goa. In Goa all plots are termed as agricultural property, as such your purchase was illegal. A foreigner may take residential accomodation on lease provided the period of lease does not exceed five years. In such cases, there is no requirement of taking any permission or reporting to the Reserve Bank of India. -- Adv C Kundaikar, in Home and Estates, Autumn 2010 issue.
