Tianjin port and investment connections
QHITPA provides paid administrative coordination and application-preparation support for Tianjin-based individuals, families, companies and advisers considering Australian residential land, new dwellings, development, commercial property or connected investment matters.
Start your Tianjin enquiry
A concise first brief helps QHITPA identify whether the Tianjin enquiry concerns residential land, a new dwelling, development, commercial land or a broader business transaction.
About Tianjin investor enquiries
Tianjin is a major northern port, logistics, advanced-manufacturing and commercial city with close economic links to Beijing and international markets.
Tianjin enquiries may involve residential land, new dwellings, logistics-related commercial property or broader investment plans requiring the correct residential or non-residential pathway.
Tianjin enquiries may cross residential, commercial and logistics-related categories. Early classification matters because the information, thresholds and conditions can differ materially between a home, commercial land and an operating business asset.

The same Tianjin investor may have several objectives, but each Australian asset must be classified and documented on its own facts.
Industrial land, warehouses, logistics premises and operating businesses can involve different approval tests. The enquiry should specify whether the investor is acquiring land, leasing premises, buying a business or combining several transactions.
Where a company is considering commercial land, offices or premises, QHITPA separates the property acquisition from any business acquisition and records the entity, ownership chain, asset value and intended operating use.
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.
Application readiness
Organising these points early helps the Tianjin client, QHITPA and independent advisers avoid inconsistent documents and preventable delays.
Identify whether the asset is commercial land, residential land, a business interest or a combined transaction before determining the approval pathway.
Obtain reliable documents showing whether the asset is a new dwelling, vacant residential land, an established dwelling, commercial land or another investment.
Summarise purchase funds, lenders, related-party finance and expected transfers so the documents are consistent and available when requested.
Record reservation, signing, finance and settlement dates and obtain independent legal advice on any foreign-investment approval condition.
QHITPA coordination pathway
QHITPA acts as a paid coordination point for Tianjin 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 Tianjin. 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
No. Commercial land can involve different monetary thresholds, notification tests and conditions. The exact property and transaction value must be identified before advice is coordinated.
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.
Approval should be addressed before an unconditional commitment. If a contract is signed, independent Australian legal advice is important to ensure it contains an appropriate foreign-investment approval condition.
No fee should be assumed until the transaction and applicant are reviewed. QHITPA’s service fee, government application fees and independent professional fees are separate and should be confirmed in writing.
Provide the proposed purchaser, property type, Australian location, value and timing.
