Complete Guide

Home Loan for NRI in Australia — Complete 2026 Guide

Can NRIs in Australia Buy Property in India?

Yes. Non-Resident Indians residing in Australia — whether on a Skills in Demand Visa (SID Subclass 482), Skilled Independent PR (189/190), Employer Nomination Scheme (186), Regional Skilled (491), or Australian Citizenship of Indian origin — can freely purchase residential and commercial property in India. Under FEMA, no special RBI permission is required.

NRIs cannot purchase agricultural land, farmhouses, or plantation properties in India.

ICICI Bank explicitly lists Australia in its eligible country list for NRI home loans and requires an overseas credit report not older than 45 days for Australia-based NRI applicants. SBI, HDFC, Axis Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank also actively service Australia-based NRIs.

⚠️ FEMA Rule: All NRI home loan EMI repayments must be routed through NRE / NRO / FCNR accounts or via direct inward remittances through banking channels only.

2026 Australia SID Visa Salary Thresholds — Updated

Australia’s Skills in Demand (SID) Visa (Subclass 482) replaced the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa. The Department of Home Affairs has confirmed the annual indexation of salary thresholds. The Core Skills Income Threshold (CSIT) will rise from AUD 76,515 to AUD 79,499, and the Specialist Skills Income Threshold (SSIT) will increase from AUD 141,210 to AUD 146,717 — both effective from nominations lodged on or after 1 July 2026.

Key SID visa streams for Indian professionals:

  • Specialist Skills Stream: Minimum salary AUD 141,210/year (rising to AUD 146,717 from July 1, 2026). Ideal for senior software engineers, specialist doctors, niche finance professionals, and executive-level managers. No occupation list restriction.
  • Core Skills Stream: Minimum AUD 73,150/year (rising to AUD 79,499 from July 1, 2026). Occupation must be on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL).
  • Indian professionals migrating to Australia under skilled visas (Subclass 189, 190, or 482) can expect average annual salaries between AUD 90,000 and AUD 120,000, depending on skills, experience, and location.

For Indian banks, these government-regulated salary thresholds provide strong income documentation for NRI home loan eligibility.

AUD Salary to INR — How Indian Banks Calculate Eligibility

Indian banks convert your AUD gross salary to INR at the prevailing RBI rate (approx. 1 AUD = ₹55 in 2026):

  • Annual salary of AUD 73,150 (SID Core Skills minimum — approx. ₹3.35 lakh/month) → eligible for approx. ₹48–65 Lakh home loan
  • Annual salary of AUD 100,000 (approx. ₹4.58 lakh/month) → eligible for approx. ₹68–90 Lakh
  • Annual salary of AUD 141,210+ (SID Specialist Skills — approx. ₹6.47 lakh/month) → eligible for ₹95 Lakh – ₹1.4 Crore+

Banks finance 75–85% of property value.

Australian Credit Report — Is It Mandatory?

ICICI Bank requires an overseas credit report for Australia-based NRI applicants — the report must not be older than 45 days. Australia has three main credit bureaus: Equifax Australia, Experian Australia, and illion. A score of 600+ is generally preferred. We guide you on obtaining and submitting the correct Australian credit report.

Power of Attorney — Australia

The PoA must be notarized and attested at:

  • High Commission of India in Canberra
  • Consulate General of India in Sydney
  • Consulate General of India in Melbourne

We provide ready-to-use Specific PoA formats and complete attestation guidance.
