Navigate Australian non-resident lending rules. We help temporary residents, visa holders, expats, and foreign buyers secure finance in compliance with FIRB guidelines.

Lending for Non-Residents and Expats

Securing home finance in Australia as a temporary resident, foreign buyer, or Australian expat living overseas comes with a unique set of challenges. Most major Australian banks have strict restrictions on foreign income and residency status.

At MCT Financial Solutions, we specialize in helping non-residents navigate the Australian regulatory landscape and secure competitive finance.

Key Considerations for Non-Residents

  • FIRB Approval: The Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) must approve residential property purchases by non-residents. We guide you through this process.
  • Foreign Income: We have access to a specialized panel of lenders that accept overseas currencies (such as USD, SGD, HKD, VND, and EUR) for loan assessment.
  • Expats: Australian citizens living and working abroad can access home loan packages that align with standard resident interest rates.
  • Visa Holders: Certain temporary visas (like subclass 482, 491, and others) are eligible for home loans, sometimes with standard deposit sizes.

Key Challenges

  • Limited number of Australian banks lending to overseas applicants
  • Strict Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) compliance rules
  • Heavier deposit requirements (often 20% to 30% minimum)
  • Higher interest rate surcharges for overseas currency earners

  • Access to specialized non-bank lender panels accepting foreign income streams
