Temporary Visa Options

Investor Retirement Visas

This is a temporary visa that is valid for 4 years, after which, you are able to apply for a visa for a further 4 years.

In order to apply for this visa, you must:

  • Be 55 or older;
  • Have no dependents, other than your spouse;
  • Be sponsored by a State or Territory government agency (please note: NSW and the ACT currently do not sponsor Investor Retirees);
  • Be able to support yourself – that is, you will need to meet the relevant financial requirements for the grant of this visa. These depend on where you want to settle in Australia; and
  • Meet relevant health and character criteria.

Please be aware that this visa allows you to work up to a maximum of 20 hours per week. However, it does not entitle you to Medicare or social security benefits. You will need to have private health insurance for the duration of your visa.
