For successful business owners, investors, and senior executives looking to settle in Australia, the Australian Business Visa Program offers a clear pathway to establishing your business interests in the country. Beyond the commercial opportunity, Australia offers an exceptional quality of life, natural beauty, and a stable, secure environment for you and your family.

 

There are two main pathways within the Business Visa Program:

            1. Direct Permanent Residence
           Suited to high-achieving business people, this pathway leads straight to permanent residency;
           most commonly through the Business Talent (Subclass 132) visa.

           2. Provisional-to-Permanent Pathway
           This two-stage process requires holding a Business Skills Provisional visa for four years while meeting

ongoing eligibility requirements, before applying for a Business Skills Residence visa. Applicants must score at least 65 points on the points test, assessed across factors including age, English language ability, qualifications, business experience, net assets, business turnover, and special endorsements.

 

Business visas continue to grow in popularity given the range of benefits available to successful applicants; but success depends on a well-structured, carefully documented plan. With years of experience in investment migration, Cornerstone helps clients design high-quality project plans, develop and grow their business, and manage the process efficiently; saving time and cost on the path to a successful migration outcome.
