BUSINESS SKILLS MIGRATION If you are a well-qualified and successful business person wishing to move to Australia under the business migration categories, there could be an opportunity for you to eventually gain permanent entry to Australia. It is likely that you will be able to apply in a category under which relevant skills, business or investment experience and language ability and age are required in order to satisfy Australian immigration requirements to live and work in Australia. If you don't meet these requirements, you may alternatively qualify if you meet skilled migration visa requirements. Each business migration category has different requirements for entry to Australia. In most cases you will be granted a four-year temporary business visa initially, and then after satisfying the required evidence of a specific level of business activity or investment, you will be able to apply for permanent residency. If you do not meet the requirements for the above visa you may meet the requirements for a State/Territory sponsored visa. The requirements for this visa may be easier for you to meet, but you have to live and set up your business (if applicable) in a regional area of the State that has sponsored you. Business Entry categories summary: Business Owner - for owners or part-owners of a business For Business Owners and certain obligations must be met and applicants will be monitored on arrival in Australia Investor - for investors/business people willing to make a significant investment in Australia Note: Applicants coming under all of the above categories may also be sponsored by an Australian State/Territory as described above, making the requirements for business entry a bit more lenient, because sponsorship from a State or Territory government allows applicants to be assessed against lower level criteria. State and Territory governments have specific criteria for deciding who they will sponsor and they are all slightly different.
