Business Innovation Stream Visa
If you are a successful business owner abroad and are looking to own your own business in Australia, then the Business Innovation Stream is the ideal visa for you.
The Business Innovation Stream is a temporary business visa that is valid for 4 years. If you meet certain requirements of your provisional visa after the first 2 years, then you may be able to apply for permanent residence in Australia.
Basic Requirements
- must be under 55 years of age
- must be able to demonstrate a successful business career
- must have enough funds and assets to settle in Australia
- must acquire at least 65 points on the innovation points test
You must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) and a detailed business proposal with your visa application. Your previous business career must demonstrate significant turnover and a strong commitment to owning and running a business in Australia.
Once your Business Innovation Stream Visa has been granted, you are able to own (or partially own) a business in Australia. Any family members that you included in your application (such as a partner and/or dependent children) are permitted to live, work and study in Australia.
When applying for permanent residence, you may require sponsorship from State or Territory Government.
