Overseas Visitor 405 Investor Retirement Visa, 410 Retirement Visa

You’re 55 years and over, have worked hard all your life and have always dreamed of retiring in Australia, one of the most marvellous and exciting countries in the world. It has so much to offer. Cosmopolitan cities, spectacular coasts, the rugged red dust outback. Your retirement years will be anything but dull.

As you explore the vast and diverse land, it’s important to make sure you have planned all the details, including looking after your health and wellbeing. Organising health insurance will give you peace of mind and help you to make the most of your time in Australia. In fact having health insurance is a condition of your retirement visa.

When you apply for a subclass 405/410 visa, you must provide evidence of adequate health insurance for the period you intend to stay in Australia. If you can’t provide this evidence, your visa is at risk of being declined.

For a subclass 410 visa, you must also provide evidence that you held adequate health insurance during your previous stay in Australia and that the insurance is ongoing.
