Non resident for immigration purposes and non resident for tax purposes are 2 different things though.
Just in case someone gets confused here.
Richards response about 80 % LVR for non perm residents/ citizens is correct. No lmi generally for non perm resident/ citizens.
As mentioned, some will do Expat ( non resident for tax purposes) to 90/92 %. In additon to the 2 mentioned Worstpac can sometimes be swayed.
