Business Visa

The Australian Business Visa Program encourages successful business owners, investors and senior executives to settle in Australia while developing new or existing opportunities in Australian business.

There are 2 pathways for Business Skills entry to Australia:

• As a Provisional Visa holder with eligibility for permanent residence after establishing a business in Australia; or
• Direct Permanent Residence for high calibre business applicants sponsored by a State/Territory government.

Business migrants taking the first pathway must undergo a 2-stage progression to obtain residency. As such, visa holders are first granted a Business Skills (Provisional) Visa for 4 years and, after establishing the requisite level of business or maintaining their suitable investment, will be eligible to make an application for a Business Skills (Residence) Visa.

The second pathway leading to direct permanent residence is only open to high-calibre business migrants sponsored by a State/Territory government. This category is known as the Business Talent Visa.

The Business Skills Program is divided into 4 categories:

• Business Owner category for owners or part-owners of a business;
• Senior Executive category for senior executive employees of major businesses;
• Investor category for investors/business people willing to invest in Australia; and
• Business Talent category for high-calibre business people who have sponsorship from a State/Territory government.
