Any applicant that does not hold Australian Citizenship or Australian Permanent Residency can use a non resident home loan to purchase or refinance an owner occupied or investment property. Non residents in Australia generally need to obtain approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) before purchasing property. The FIRB is a government body responsible for reviewing and approving foreign investment proposals in Australia.

Yes, you can get a home loan if you are a non-resident or a foreigner. However, the process of applying for a home loan is slightly different if you are a non-resident or a foreigner. First, you will need to provide proof of your identity and your current address. You will also need to provide proof of your financial situation, such as bank statements and income tax returns, as well as proof of your current employment. You will also need to provide proof of your assets, such as property and investments. This will help the lender determine your ability to repay the loan. In addition, you may need to provide a guarantor. A guarantor is someone who agrees to be responsible for the loan if you are unable to repay it. Finally, you may need to pay a higher interest rate than a resident. This is because lenders may consider you to be a higher risk borrower. If you are a non-resident or a foreigner looking for a home loan, it is important to do your research and compare different lenders to find the best deal.
