tomgolland Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hi all, I need some advice please. I'm days away from lodging my defacto visa application and I'm optimistic that all will go according to plan and I'll have a 2 year temporary residency before getting permanent residency. I would like to know if I would be availbale for a home loan as a temporary resident? And if so, could my partner and I have a joint home loan? And what restrictions are there likely to be. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobN Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 As you would be on a 309 visa there are no restrictions to you & your Australian (I'm guessing? - as they could be a New Zealander) partner owning property. Restrictions do exist regarding non-Australians and property, however they do not exist for those who are married or de facto with an Australian. FIRB has the info (though I couldn't get onto their website just now). If you two can meet lending requirements you should be able to get a mortgage.

tomgolland Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks RobN, My partner is indeed Australian, so that sounds promising. I'll begin investigations! Thanks for your help Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KirstyM Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 You'll be right. I've just been approved for a mortgage on a defacto visa as the spouse of an NZ citizen. My visa is a 5 year permanently renewable one, and the bank didn't even blink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
