I want to invest in buying a house in Australia. What kind of visa do I need to apply for? What relevant materials need to be provided?

To put it simply, an applicant needs to meet the following conditions in order to successfully apply for a 475 visa:

(1) The applicant must be guaranteed by the state or territory government

Australia has six states (New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania) and two territories (Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory). According to the immigration regulations of 475 visa, if there is no state or territory to guarantee the 475 visa application, the applicant will not be able to submit it.

(2) The applicant must evaluate the nominated occupation through an evaluation agency

As a part of the effective application for ordinary skilled immigrants, it is no longer a strange concept to evaluate the nominated occupation through an evaluation agency before submitting the application. 475 visa applicants' assessment of the nominated occupations and passing the assessment are not only the key factors or prerequisites for applying for 475 visas, but also the key factors or prerequisites for obtaining state or territory government guarantees for applying for 475 visas. In other words, if you fail to pass the evaluation of the nominated occupation, you will not be able to apply for the guarantee of the state or territory government for the 475 visa application.

(3) Applicants must meet the four basic conditions for ordinary skilled immigrants and the ten conditions for other skilled immigrants

These four basic conditions are:

A. They must pass the nominated vocational and technical assessment;

B. Must be under 45 years old;

C. have been nominated for a job for 12 months in the last 24 months

D. IELTS listening, speaking, reading and writing are not less than 6.. This requirement can be met after the application is submitted.

The ten conditions for other skilled immigrants are: in addition to the above four basic conditions, the scoring system for the 475 temporary residence visa completely adopts the scoring items in the scoring system for ordinary skilled immigrants (permanent residents), including technology, age, English, employment experience, Australian education, spouse, occupation in short supply, reward (including community language score for holders with bachelor degree or above in China), guarantee and additional 1 points for remote areas. The applicant's total score must be at least 1 points, and 475 visas are likely to succeed.

(4). Applicants must have a score of 9 or more in skilled migration.

the passing score of the 475 visa is 1 points, but any applicant who successfully obtains the state/territory guarantee will get an additional score of 1 points from the state or territory government, which means that the applicant can apply for the 475 visa as long as he gets a total score of 9 points.

at present, it seems that some state/territory governments have tightened the issuance of guarantees accordingly, but the scale and substantive effect of this action are not completely clear. After all, this is the scope for each state and territory to exercise their rights independently. However, from the practice of 495 visa (the predecessor of 475) in the past two years, the main factor that discourages from applying for 475 visa is the uncertainty of whether 475 visa holders can successfully apply for immigration in the future. It seems that the Immigration Department is not prepared to make a clear compromise on this uncertainty, but wants to effectively lower the threshold of 475 visa by adding 1 points of state/territory guarantee (that is, from the current 11 points to 1 points) to attract more applicants, so as to explain to voters that it is an effective measure to introduce 475 visas to attract technical talents to remote areas. From this point of view, the state/territory government may not tighten the issuance of guarantees because of the increase of 1 points.

(5) You must be prepared to live, work or study in remote areas of Australia

A: There are 8539 restrictions on the 475 visa. This condition requires 475 visa holders to live, work or study in remote areas of Australia.

The so-called remote areas in Australia, for the 475 visa, are all other parts of Australia excluding the following cities or regions:

Sydney; Newcastle； Wollongong； Central Coast (NSW)； Brisbane； Gold Coast； Perth

Melbourne； Act (Australian capital territory)

that is to say, Regional Australia, which has been translated into remote areas of Australia for a long time, seems to include not only remote areas, such as all South Australia including Adelaide, all Tasmania including Hobart, and all Northern Territory including Darwin. There are many Asian students in Adelaide, Hobart and Darwin's universities. These cities are quite urbanized in all aspects except that they are not densely populated, which is absolutely different from the concept of "remote areas" in China people's minds.

the p>8539 condition requires 475 visa holders to live, work or study in remote areas of Australia, but it does not prevent 475 visa holders from going to remote areas of non-Australia, such as Sydney, for short-term sightseeing. However, living, working or studying in remote areas of non-Australia is prohibited, and if found, the Immigration Department will have the right to cancel their 475 visas.
