Business and Investor Visa Assessment Form

There is a range of visas, known as Business Skills visas, available to people from overseas to establish or manage a new or existing business or invest in Australia.

The process usually involves two steps. Successful applicants are granted a Business Development (Provisional) visa for four years, during which time they must meet a number of requirements. They then apply for Business Development (Permanent) type of visa to become a permanent Australian resident.

Business visas are grouped in three general categories:

Business Owners

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

Senior Executives

For senior executive employees of a major overseas business, who have significant net assets and a genuine and realistic commitment to participate in the management of a new or existing business in Australia.

Investors

For people who have a successful business or investment career, and have a genuine and realistic commitment to be involved in investing or business in Australia.

In addition, if an Australian State and Territory government business agency wants to encourage a particular business or business person to Australia, it can offer to sponsor a visa applicant. Sponsorship options may be available in the Business Owner, Senior Executive and Investor categories. An ISA Group Registered Migration Agent can provide further information about State or Territory sponsorship options – enquire at info@isa.com.au
