=> YES, I THINK THEY DO. A SUBCLASS 173 IS A TEMPORARY RESIDENCY VISA UNDER THE MIGRATION ACT 1958.
Also, do they need FIRB consent etc to buy a house?
=> I THINK THE STATUS OF A SUBCLASS 173 VISAHOLDER IS THE SAME AS A SUBCLASS 410 RETIREMENT VISAHOLDER. IN OTHER WORDS, IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT IS BEING BOUGHT, BUT POSSIBLY YES!
Thank you
