It's quite bizarre any jurisdiction would allow someone to buy housing there when they can't legally live in it.

Most governments would do anything for foreign direct investment.

From many points of view, having foreign investors buy property without immigrating is a best case scenario for governments.

Then that's fantastic! Since housing has come so unaffordable in Canada I'm looking at moving to Japan. I'm seeing detached houses 60m transit from Tokyo for less than a down payment on a condo 60m from Vancouver.

So if I buy a place there and move, it's win/win for everyone!
