Advise on Business Visa

If you are an investor or the owner of any organization so this is designed for you, if you have a successful track record in high level management of major eligible investment or business activity. To qualify, your investment or business activity must comply with set criteria. This is an alternative for business owners, but is also suitable for shrewd investors.
You must also be able to establish that:
You had recent, direct management involvement in the qualifying business and you or your spouse had an ownership interest of 10% or more of the business
Or, you had recent direct management involvement in eligible investments valued at more than Aus$2.25 million.



There are different kind of business visas designed for entrepreneurs.

* Owners or part-owners of a successful business* Senior executives employed by a major business * Investors with a proven track record in managing a portfolio of assets.
If you are one of these applicants, you will be required to provide evidence of a major interest in a new or existing business in Australia and use your business skills to actively participate in that business at senior management level.
The calibre of your background, and your age, may determine whether you qualify for permanent residence directly, under the Business Talent category, or for a 4 year provisional visa, where you are required to establish a business in Australia or join an existing business in Australia, and have a range of criteria to met in order to qualify for permanent residence.


You must also provide certain documents:

* If you are under 45 and not sponsored by a State or Territory Government, it is necessary for you to make a designated investment into Government Bonds of A$1.5 Million. * If you are sponsored by a State or Territory Government, it is necessary for you to make a designated investment into Government Bonds of A$750,000. While this is a lesser amount it does commit you to settle in that State or Territory over the ensuing 4 year period and requires you to be sponsored by that Government Agency. In all likelihood this will involve a Business Plan.
The intention of this category is that you will go into business or invest in Australia after you have made your designated investment and after the visa is granted.
