This program caters for business people who:
  • are owners of a business 
  • have a substantial business or investment background and are willing to make a substantial investment in Australia.
The Business Innovation & Investment visa program is a two-stage visa program for most applicants. Successful applicants are given a provisional visa subclass 188 for four years. Once they establish a successful business or investment after at least two years, they can qualify for a permanent residence visa subclass 888. Applicants must initially lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect and obtain a nomination from a State government.
A one-step Business Talent Permanent residence  visa subclass 132 is available for outstanding business people with a business plan that will bring significant economic development to Australia.
There are a number of applicants already in Australia on provisional business skills visas. AUSA Migration is still supporting these applicants to apply for a number of permanent residence business visas:
  • State-sponsored business owner or investor (subclass 892, 893);
  • Business owner and Investor (subclass 890, 891).
