Non-Australian Citizens and Non-Permanent Residents
Before you apply for one of our loans, you'll need to obtain permission to buy Australian property from the Foreign Investment Review Board - details of which can be found on the Australian Treasury website. It's a simple process that usually takes under three weeks. As a Non-Australian Resident, you can only to buy an investment property in your name - not in the name of your company.


You'll need to:

Provide an electronic pay slip from your employer or a letter from your employer on their letterhead confirming your income (translated into English) and complete a Declaration of Income form
Or if you're self-employed, have your accountant complete an Account Declaration form conforming your income. In addition, you will need to provide business financials for two years (translated into English)
Provide bank statements for at least three consecutive months
Appoint an agent (not your mortgage broker) to act on your behalf while overseas
Check with us that your country of residence is listed as an acceptable domicile
Pass a Citibank Australian Credit Bureau check
