Can I qualify for an Australian loan as a non-resident?

As a migrant or non-resident, you can have access to the right finance provided you have permission to work in Australia, some savings, a clean credit history, and stable employment.

The amount you will be able to borrow depends largely on the visa type that you currently hold and will often vary between 70% and 95% of the purchase price of the property (in the case of home loans and property investment loans), and will be considered together with other factors such as your nationality and the currency of your income, which often have an impact on the interest rate of your loan. 

Working closely with your Rise High broker can provide you with great clarity on what your borrowing capacity may be, as well as the requirements you will have to meet to qualify for an Australian loan as a migrant or non-resident.

Get your questions answered!

Applying for finance in a foreign country and trying to understand the rules and regulations around it can be quite overwhelming. Our team is here to answer all your questions and support you throughout the whole process. Some of the commonly asked questions include:

How much deposit do I need as a migrant?

Just like it impacts the amount you may be able to borrow, your visa status will also have an impact on the amount of deposit you will need. As a general rule of thumb, we suggest you consider saving a 10% deposit as a minimum but highly suggest you request a free consultation with our team to discuss your specific financial circumstances.

Do I require FIRB Approval as a migrant?/ Is approval from the Australian government required?

If you do not hold permanent residency in Australia and are looking to buy a home or property, you might be required to obtain approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB). 

If you are a New Zealand citizen or are interested in purchasing a property to live in instead of renting out, FIRB Approval might not be required. Our team can provide advice that applies to your personal circumstances.

What other costs must I consider?

When looking to purchase property, Stamp Duty and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) are some of the main additional costs you will want to consider. 

Working with your dedicated Rise High broker will ensure you are well-prepared to obtain approval and manage your finances with ease long-term.

"They're all magicians!"

I think this is my 13th loan arranged through Rise High (it could be more). The team has always put my goals first and explored every lender policy to ensure that I'm not just able to achieve my objectives, but to get a great deal more than I ever thought possible. No wonder Rise High takes out just about every top award, every year. They're all magicians! There is simply no more nightmare of uncertainty, and their ethics is unparalleled. From 26 year of personal history in the property market, I couldn't offer any broker a higher commendation!

"Highly recommended!!"

RHFS helped us when we decided to buy our first house, and recently with refinancing our home loan. Thuy and Isabella did an amazing work and just leaving us to make the decision with a lot of useful information. Thanks for everything you have done for us, Thuy and Isabella and, of course, Rise High Financial Solutions.

Our experience with Rise High was amazing. The process ended up being so much simpler than we had thought thanks to their hard work. The expertise and professionalism they showed meant that it was one less thing for us to worry about. We were kept updated all the way and we're so happy to now be in our new home. We would highly recommend Rise High for anyone looking for these services.

"have your interests at heart"

James and the team at Rise High were amazing. This was my first time getting a home loan, whereas for my partner has gone through the process with Rise High several times. I must admit I was a little nervous and heard of many bad experiences with other companies but this was certainly not the case. It was so easy, the team led us through the documents they needed and answered all my questions quickly, the whole process was absolutely seamless. James provided us with the best options so quickly and within 10 days we had approval. Pretty unheard of in this market at the moment, just goes to show with the right team anything is achievable. I would highly recommend Rise High to anyone who is looking for a mortgage broker who is trustworthy, reliable and who have your interests at heart.

"No question is too complex"

The Rise High team are absolutely on point with everything. Their communication is 11/10. I've refinanced with them twice now and on to my 3rd loan. Each time I have been informed of every step along the way and kept in the loop with everything. No question is too complex. I've referred family and friends to Rise High and will continue to use them in the future!

"Knocked this one clean out of the park"

I can't rate Rise High Financial Solutions highly enough. When dealing with banks and conveyancers and navigating the sometimes convoluted pathways to property ownership it's important to have expert advice and motivated staff in the form of the team at Rise High 'batting for you'. Thank you so much, you knocked this one clean out of the park. Rob 😊
