Migration to Australia
Business
Applicants may apply to Immigrate to Australia
based on the following criteria:
The business
stream for Permanent Residence is designed for successful business
owners, investors or senior executives of large enterprises. It previously
worked on a points test system also. However, from March 2003 most Business
Visas will involve an initial period of two to four years of "Provisional
Residence", leading to Permanent Residence only if certain conditions
have been satisfied during that period.
Some Applicants who are able to secure a Sponsorship from an Australian State or Territory government agency are still able to get Permanent Residence immediately.
An age limit of 44
applies in all cases unless the application has State or Territory support.
Applicants must have substantial business assets and successful track
records either in business ownership, management of investments or high
level executive experience. The point of the provisional period is to
make sure that you really do what you said you were going to do -- set
up a business or invest in government bonds. After the period expires
(four years for business owners and senior executives, two year for investors)
you have to show the government what you have done and, if you make the
grade in terms of investment levels, assets, turnover, and various other
criteria (including a minimum period of time actually spent in Australia),
you qualify for Permanent Residence.
