Shenzhen technology and investor enquiries
QHITPA provides paid administrative coordination and application-preparation support for Shenzhen-based individuals, families, companies and advisers considering Australian residential land, new dwellings, development, commercial property or connected investment matters.
Start your Shenzhen enquiry
A concise first brief helps QHITPA identify whether the Shenzhen enquiry concerns residential land, a new dwelling, development, commercial land or a broader business transaction.
About Shenzhen investor enquiries
Shenzhen is a leading technology, innovation, finance and advanced-manufacturing city with a strong community of entrepreneurs and growth companies.
Shenzhen-based enquiries may combine residential property, technology expansion, business investment or development objectives, making early classification of the proposed investment especially important.
Shenzhen founders frequently separate personal, family and company objectives. A residential purchase, a commercial workspace and a business acquisition may require different pathways, so each proposed asset should be described independently.

The same Shenzhen investor may have several objectives, but each Australian asset must be classified and documented on its own facts.
A technology-related enquiry may involve an office, research space, data operations or staff accommodation. Each asset should be listed separately so residential, commercial and business-investment questions are not combined incorrectly.
Before reserving or contracting a new dwelling, the investor should obtain reliable property details, confirm the purchaser and ensure any contract conditions properly address foreign investment approval and timing.
Where an Australian property supports distribution, construction, professional services or another business plan, the property transaction and business objective should be documented as connected but legally distinct matters.
Application readiness
Organising these points early helps the Shenzhen client, QHITPA and independent advisers avoid inconsistent documents and preventable delays.
Confirm whether the buyer will be an individual, company, trust or another entity, using names that match the proposed contract and identification records.
Summarise purchase funds, lenders, related-party finance and expected transfers so the documents are consistent and available when requested.
Obtain reliable documents showing whether the asset is a new dwelling, vacant residential land, an established dwelling, commercial land or another investment.
Share the intended contract and settlement dates early. Government processing, information requests and professional review must be allowed for.
QHITPA coordination pathway
QHITPA acts as a paid coordination point for Shenzhen enquiries. It does not issue approval or replace Australian legal, tax, finance, property or migration professionals.
Record the investor, purchaser, ownership chain, asset, value, intended use and deadlines in one working brief.
Identify identity, company, ownership, funding, property and contract documents and note any translation requirements.
Connect the client with suitable Australian legal, tax, finance, property and migration professionals where relevant.
Support application readiness, responses to information requests, understanding of conditions and practical next actions.
Current policy context
The rules do not change because an applicant lives in Shenzhen. The outcome depends on foreign-person status, purchaser structure, property category, value and current Australian law and policy.
Foreign persons generally need approval before acquiring an interest in Australian residential land, regardless of value.
From 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2029, foreign investors are generally prohibited from purchasing established dwellings, subject to limited exceptions.
Commercial land, agricultural land and business acquisitions can involve separate thresholds and notification requirements.

Frequently asked questions
They may be commercially connected, but business interests, commercial land and residential property can involve different tests. The transactions should be separated and then coordinated.
Applicants should be ready to explain purchase funds, lenders, related-party finance and transfers. QHITPA can help organise a clear checklist but does not provide tax or financial advice.
A company may be able to acquire certain Australian assets, but its foreign status, controllers, beneficial owners, asset category and transaction value must be reviewed before an application pathway is selected.
A change from an individual to a company, trust or joint purchaser can materially alter the application. Tell QHITPA and the Australian legal adviser before documents are amended or signed.
Provide the proposed purchaser, property type, Australian location, value and timing.
