Australia has a range of visa options for persons involved in business and looking to develop their business interests in Australia.

If you are under the age of 44, have substantial business assets and a good track record in business ownership, managing investments or senior executive experience, then you may qualify.

The options available are as follows:

Business visits

For business people to visit Australia for business purposes, for example, to attend a conference or training session, to conduct business with an Australia-based organisation, to conduct business negotiations or for an exploratory business visit.

Business Development - Provisional

These visas, known as Business Skills visas, are for business people to establish a business in Australia, manage a new or existing business or invest in Australia. All except the Investor Retirement visa offer a pathway to permanent residence. The purpose of this stream is to ensure that you see through the business which you propose in your application. The time limits for the provisional period are 4 years for business owners and senior executives and 2 years for investors. You will need to establish your credentials in your business development before permanent residency can be applied for.

Business Development - Permanent

This is stream is for people who have established the required level of business in Australia while holding a provisional visa. A direct permanent residence visa is also available for high-calibre business people.
