Business Migration to Australia

Australia's Business Skills migration programme aims to attract business people (business owners, senior executives, investors) with a proven business or investment record, and are prepared to commit to using their business and/or investment skills in Australia.

To be eligible to apply for a Business Skills visa, you must:

• Have had an overall successful business career;
  

• Have a genuine and realistic commitment to the management of a new or existing business/investment that will benefit Australia
  

• Not have been involved in business or investment activities considered unacceptable in Australia
  

• If you have experienced bankruptcy, or been actively involved in a business that has been subject to insolvency, receivership or liquidation, you will need to prove you did not significantly contribute to the problem
  

• Have a genuine and realistic commitment (on being granted the visa):
  

• To set up a new business or participate in an existing business, and
  

• Maintain a substantial ownership interest, and
  

• To participate in the day to day management of the business, and
  

• Make decisions which will affect the overall direction and performance of the business which will benefit Australia
  

Your spouse and dependent children may migrate with you under the same visa class. All family members (whether migrating or otherwise) must meet health and character requirements.
