Hi there, as we trundle toward getting the 457 through and start planning for our move in early April, the details begin to enter my brain with increasing frequency.

One of the things I need to understand is how easy it (if at all) is to get a loan from an Aus bank when on a temporary 457 visa?

The visa is for 4 years, as is my contract with the firm I am joining, will it be easy for me to get a loan? We will need one immediately we land, since we have no savings to take with us, and selling all of our stuff here is only going to get us to an even point.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

Chris
