Application Forms

See How to apply for general information regarding all applications.

Residential Real Estate

Please note that new streamlined application forms have been introduced for acquisitions of residential real estate which meet the eligibility criteria. Applications submitted on the previous forms (e.g. R3, C1 and/or Form 3 Notice under section 26A) are no longer valid.

There are several different types of application forms, depending upon the type of proposal and the category of residential real estate being acquired:

• statutory notice under section 26A for all acquisitions which are subject to the FATA (Form 4 if purchasing in individual name(s) or Form 5 if purchasing in the name of a company or trust);
• retrospective application forms (instead of the section 26A statutory notice), for acquisitions which were subject to the FATA, but the foreign person has already acquired the interest without prior approval;
• Declarations for acquisitions of residential real estate which meet the eligibility criteria under the policy.

All residential real estate forms are available at How to Apply: Residential Real Estate - click on the relevant link on that page to download the appropriate form(s). For example, if you have a conditional contract to purchase a single block of vacant land to build a house, and you are purchasing it in individual names (not in the name of a company or trust), the relevant application form will include:

• statutory notice - Form 4 (for individuals); and
• Declaration - single block of vacant land to build a house.

Other Applications

The only form required for other applications is the relevant statutory notice under section 25, 26 or 26A (if applicable). Further details regarding these applications (including the relevant statutory notices) are available at the relevant page under How to apply.
