Overseas Investment Act 2005

Consent and conditions regime - When consent required and criteria for consent - Criteria for consent

19: Applying good character and Immigration Act 2009 criteria

You could also call this:

"Checking if overseas investors are good characters"

When you look at the rules for overseas investment, you need to consider what it means to be a good character. The Overseas Investment Act 2005 has rules about this. You can find more information about being a good character in the Immigration Act 2009, but the specific section about applying these rules was repealed on 22 March 2021 by section 16 of the Overseas Investment (Urgent Measures) Amendment Act 2020, which you can read more about on the legislation website. This change happened because of a new law that was passed. The rules for overseas investment are important to follow.
