Hi Good Morning. Just want to ask if i could get a car loan i am 457 visa holder but will apply my pr this month. Can i apply for a car loan while i am on a bridging visa (class wa). I have a loan right now while im on a 457 visa but my loan will be fully paid next month. Im just wondering if i could get another loan while on a bridging visa while waiting for my p.r. Thank you
Hi Noel,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Please note that we are not affiliated with any company we feature on our site and so we can only offer you general advice.
Yes, a select number of lenders will allow student and bridging visa holders with stable incomes to borrow, however, there may be stricter eligibility rules involved in these cases.
Although car loans are usually restricted to PR and citizens, migrants on a 457 may have a better chance of being approved for car loans so long as they meet certain financial conditions.
You may compare your options from here for car loans. Please click on the name of your preferred lender to check its eligibility criteria and get more info. Then you may click on the ‘Go to Site’ button to submit an online application.
Hope this information helped.

Hi,
I am on bridging visa at the moment while waiting for my Temporary Visa (I am on a Partner (Provisional and Migrant) Visa application). I just learned that the immigration just extended the processing time for partner’s visa which means it will take me longer (probably a year) to get the result of the temporary visa. My partner and I are planning to apply for a loan (for property investment). We both have permanent jobs. Am I eligible?
Thanks
Hi Jen,
Thank you for your inquiry.
If you’re a non-resident foreigner and you want to buy any residential property in Australia, you will first need to obtain approval from FIRB. You can apply for approval online and, while there is no limit to the number of new dwellings you can purchase, you will usually need to apply for approval before each purchase.
I hope this information has helped.
Cheers,

Hi Melissa,
Thanks for your inquiry.
Yes, you may still be able to apply for a loan. Please just make sure you explain your current situation.
Hope this information helped.

I am a UK Citizen about to apply for an Australian partner visa to move out with my wife, who is an Australian, next year. We want to start a small business in her home town.
My question is regarding loans. We will have a proportion of the start-up costs as cash, but may require up to $50,000 in the form of a loan to help with this. My worry is that even though we have very good credit histories, once we move to Australia these will mean nothing and we won’t be able to gain the funds needed to start our business.
What are our options?
Hi Louis!
Thanks for the comment.
Many lenders will assess your loan application based on your visa, assets, ability to repay and other financial aspects. Additionally, it is also crucial to start building your credit history which may help financing your business in the future. One way to do start is to open a bank account.
You may visit this page to help you understand how to apply for loans and to see our list of lenders. Click “Go to Site” green button to proceed with your application.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
This is Raj, I’m a student and I’m having a valid student visa for two years but It can be extended up to three years too. I just need to know I’m working here so can I apply for loan in any banks?
I’m pretty sure that I’ll be able to pay monthly payment. Could you please advise me?
Thanks
Hi Raj,
The banks outlined on the table above will consider temporary residents for loans as long as you meet the eligibility criteria and show you have the ability to repay the loan you’re applying for. As mentioned in the page above, you won’t be able to apply for a loan with terms longer than is left on your visa.
Hope this has helped,
Elizabeth
Hi, good morning, I just have granted 188 business innovation visa for 4 years, and me and my wife thought in by one coffee shop, or a restaurant. I have 330k in a bank, and then we want to buy a unit and I can pay the deposit, but we’ll need 150k home loan. Do you think we’ll have problems?
what bank can be the best for my case?
thank you very much
