Voor degenen die land of een huis willen kopen in Australie heb ik hier nog een aardige samenvatting van de combinatie VISA en mogelijkheden. We kregen het van de
real estate agent waar we van huren. Waarschijnlijk werd 'ie een beetje moe van al
die toeristen die zich staan te vergapen aan de inhoud van z'n etalage :lol:.

Information for Overseas Buyers
We are often asked about the possibility of non-Australian citizens buying Australian property.
Here is a precis of the Foreign Investment guidelines.
Full details are contained in the Australian Government's website at www.firb.gov.au.
The Australian Government seeks the encourage inward foreign investment, acknowledging
that it is a positive contributor to economic growth. Australia operates a screening process which
is transparant and very liberal. Generally speaking, proposed investments are approved unless
considered contrary to the national interest.
There are four area's of residential property which are covered under the guidelines:
Vacant land
No visa is required, but you must commence continuous development on the property within 12
months of receiving foreign investment approval,
Newly built residential real estate
No visa is required, but you must submit a letter from the developer indicating that the property has never been previously occupied or sold.
Established residential real estate
You must hold a temporary residence visa that allows you to remain in Australia for a continuous periode of longer than 12 months from the date of your application.
You must state in your application that the property will be your principal place of residence,
that you will not rent or lease the property and that you will sell the property immediatly to an Australian citizen or permanent resident or other eligible person if your visa expires or you cease to reside in the property or in Australia.
Redevelopment
No visa required, but you must commence continuous development on the property within 12 months
of receiving foreign investment approval. The existing dwelling must remain unoccupied until such time as it is demolished.
