My mother would like to take Israeli citizenship in order to buy an apartment without paying mas rechisha. However, she is still working in Chu"l and does not want to come live here yet. (The apartment is still on paper, and she would rent it out, I guess, once it's built.) She wants it for the future. Is there any legal way she can do this? How long would she need to live here? Any ideas?

I’m not an expert but I’m pretty sure you have to live in israel at least 51% of the year in order to receive citizen benefits.

You’re best bet is to call nefesh b’nefesh and find out the details.

They charge a higher tax because they don’t want people doing that.
Though there may be a loophole, the idea is to build new apartments for the local population, not vacation homes that will be empty most of the year.

The answer, as I assumed, is that no, there is no way to do that.
(As a side point, there was no intention to leave the apartment empty, as a vacation apartment. The plan was to have it lived in until she moves here, hopefully very soon, with Moshiach.)

There are always new places being built. Why not just wait till she's ready to make the move?

Because this is in my neighborhood, where new building doesn't always happen.

Also generally cheaper to buy on paper.
