| Business Visa |
| There are
excellent opportunities for successful business
people to settle in Australia by establishing or
investing in an Australian business. There are
also visa options available to self-managed
investors. There are many different types of
business visas available and we can only feature
some of them here, and they involve more detail
than we are able to provide in this space. |
| In general
terms, applicants have to show that they have
skills to enhance the economy through developing
a new or existing business or investing
significant funds in Australia. |
| Business
migration can be extremely complex with a wide
range of different business visas available and
we are available to assist you with identifying
which visa is the most suitable to your
situation. |
| A brief overview
of the Business Short Stay Visa, the Business
Owner, Senior Executive and Investor visa
categories are provided. Other visas which are
available under the Business Skills Category,
include visas for Business Employee Managers and
High Caliber Business Talents. |
| There is mostly
a two-stage structure for business migration.
Only the Business Talent visa provides direct
permanent residency, and this requires a
consistently high business performance, with one
of the criteria being turnover of at least
A$3,000,000 in two of the four years immediately
before the date of application. |
| Business
Short Stay Visa |
| Business people
from selected countries can visit Australia for
3 months or less to attend business meetings or
to explore business opportunities by applying
for an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) through
an easy online application. |
| If you live in
one of the following countries you can apply for
an ETA: |
| Andorra,
Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Canada, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong,
Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein,
Luxemburg, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, South
Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK,

| If your country
is not on this list you can still apply for a
similar visa at your nearest Australian Embassy.
|
| Business
Owner |
| This visa is for
people who have a successful business career,
and have a genuine and realistic commitment to
be involved as an owner in a new or existing
business in Australia. |
| The Business
Owner Category pathway to permanent residency is
that first you must apply for a Business Owner
(Provisional) Visa, and then after a designated
period you can apply for a Business Owner
(Permanent) Visa. |
| These temporary
visas are for 2 to 4 years. If during this time
the applicant can show that they have a
significant interest in a successful Australian
business, they are then eligible to apply for a
permanent visa. |
| Senior
Executives |
| This visa is for
senior executive employees of major overseas
businesses who have significant net assets and a
genuine and realistic commitment to participate
in the management of a new or existing business.
|

options to both lodge independently or with the
sponsorship of a participating State or
Territory Government, where the threshold
requirements are slightly lower. |
| The pathways to
permanent residence under this class are Senior
Executive (provisional) to Established Business
in Australia (Residence) or State/Territory
Sponsored Senior Executive (provisional) to
Regional Established Business in Australia
(Residence). |

temporary (provisional) visa. These visas are
for 2 to 4 years. If during this time the
applicant can show that they have maintained
their investment in Australia, they are then
