thanks Linda :):confused: You can buy a house/land in NZ without any visa at all. And you can ship your stuff over as well on a visitor's visa. It's a bit brave, but perfectly legal. |

You will struggle to get a mortgage without residency. But as has been mentioned, if you got the dosh, nothing stopping you buying a house.

Depends on the bank and personal circumstances, I would think, not on the law. |

I don't know. I was offered a mortgage on a property in Auckland when I was living in Japan and had never been to NZ.

I don't suppose you know of a way to borrow in Japan and spend in NZ by any chance??

Also the 0.25% rates are for interest on savings...I think you'll find that bank loans are pretty steep. That's why Kiwis blame the semi-mythical 'Japanese housewive investors' for the recent run on their currency, as the only real way to invest money in Japan is via shares and the like. |
