There has never been a better opportunity to benefit from Australia's Business Skills Program and Australia welcomes business people who can bring business skills, expertise and investment to Australia.
Under the current business visa scheme that was introduced in March 2003, the prospective business migrants have the opportunity to try themselves out, rather than making a permanent decision about their settlement.
Under the new scheme, business migrants are granted a Provisional Visa for four years at the beginning, and after establishing the business or maintaining their investment, they can apply for a Business Skills Residence Visa.
There are four business visa categories that fall into this scheme.
• Business Owner category
• Senior Executive category
• Investor Category
• Business Talent Category
This visa is given initially for a period of four years as a provisional visa. Once the business is established or the required level of investments is maintained, applicants are eligible to apply for permanent residency under this scheme.
