When the global wanderer returns, how do they get a loan?

Living and working overseas is a rite of passage for many Australians. Whether it’s the rainy streets of London or the bright lights of Bangkok, 18.7 million citizens left our shores in 2016 and over one million live outside Australia today. But when the time comes to make major life decisions like settling down and buying a house, it seems there’s no place like home. 75% return within two years of their intended ‘permanent’ departure and with increasing unrest around the world, these numbers are set to rise. If you’re returning from overseas, we look at what you may need to think about to secure a loan and make those major life decisions a reality.

Stretch your travel dollar

For keen travellers, the falling Aussie dollar has been bad news. At its peak in 2011, it was worth $US1.11. Since 2013, it has steadily dropped. Today, it hovers around the US70 cent mark and is tipped to fall further.
