Australia: Business Visa
You can obtain an Australian Business Class Visa if you have recent business or management experience that enables you to set up an enterprise which will benefit the Australian economy.
There are four types of business visa:
1. Business Owners and Managers: persons who run their own company or are in a management position.
2. Senior Executives: persons working at senior management level.
3. Investors: persons with high net assets.
4. Business Talent Visa: minimum turnover of AU$ 3,000,000.
The applicant needs to meet several basic requirements, for example, you need to be younger than 45. If you are over 45 and younger than 55 you may still qualify but you need to be sponsored by an Australian State or Territory. To obtain state sponsorship you need a sound business plan which is approved by the state. For all business visa categories you need to meet specific financial criteria for two of the past four years. Almost all business visas are four-year provisional visas which may lead to permanent residential status once you have established a successful business in Australia.
Business migrants with high net assets can obtain permanent residential status immediately. Fill in the evaluation form if you would like to find out more about business class visas and your chances of obtaining one. If you are over 55, you may qualify for a retirement visa.
