Personal Loans For Temporary Residents
There are banks and lender who may consider you for a loan even if you aren't a permanent resident. Temporary residence doesn't restrict your access to finance, however, for a temporary resident like an individual on a work visa, extra criteria need to be met in order to qualify. Most lenders will need the details of your visa before you are approved to ensure that the terms of the personal loan do not exceed the amount of time left on your visa. You may also need to meet higher minimum income criteria or show extra credentials. One advantage of applying for a loan in Australia is that your overseas credit history is not a factor.
