Short term business visitor visas are available to business people needing 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.
The Business Visitor Visa will allow you and your family to travel to and from Australia for a period of 3 months to complete your investigations.
For more information about applying for this visa please contact VisAustralia.
Business Development visas
Business Development visas are provisional visas of up to 4 years that allow business people to establish a business in Australia, manage a new or existing business or invest in Australia.
There are a number of different Business Development visa subclasses that cater for different kinds of business people.
The rules for each business visa subclass are different, but in general there are requirements relating to age (often less than 45 and sometimes 55 years old), previous successful business experience, ownership of a business with a turnover of at least AUD$300 000 per annum or management experience in a major business, business or personal assets of at least AUD$500,000 that are available to bring to Australia, and a genuine and realistic commitment to be involved as an owner or manager or investor in a new or existing business in Australia.
Key information
Business Development visas are in the first instance provisional. If you successfully manage your business in Australia over the period of the provisional visa you can apply for a permanent visa. A key part of the visa requirement is to show that you have a genuine and realistic commitment to be involved as an owner or manager or investor in a new or existing business in Australia.
Opening or purchasing a business in Australia involves a significant investment of time and money. If you meet the above requirements and have a definite business idea we invite you to schedule an appointment with VisAustralia to obtain further advice in relation to your specific situation.
