Guest swifties Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi, we have a 475 provisional residency visa for WA. Has anyone else got one & do you know if we can buy a house on it or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen 007 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 On a 457 VISA you can buy but you will then lose out on the LAFHA that you could claim in addition if you decide to return to the UK you would have to sell the property and may be due tax on the profit.

Guest swifties Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi Stephen, Thanks, but we have a 475 (state sponsored regional) not a 457 temp business visa, so we are not subject to LAFHA etc. We are selling before we leave and just want to be able to buy straight away when we arrive, but as its a 3 year provisional residency visa wanted to make sure we can buy.

Yes you can with no restrictions, if you were on a 457 like me, you have to get FIRB approval and you can only buy one house as your primary residence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
