Yes—foreigners can buy property in Portugal with no general requirement to be a resident.
The practical “must-haves” are getting a Portuguese tax number (NIF), using an independent lawyer for due diligence, and completing the purchase through the formal deed/registration steps so ownership is properly recorded.
Many overseas buyers also open a Portuguese bank account early to simplify deposits, tax payments, and completion funds.
