Australia

Oceania

Australia has no digital nomad visa, no investor visa and no golden visa in either direction, so points-tested skilled migration or employer sponsorship are the real routes in. From 1 July 2027 the 50 percent capital gains discount on crypto is replaced by a 30 percent floor, and the grant of permanent residence, not simply arriving, is the real tax event to plan around.
