Business & Investor

Business and investor pathways are for people who want to establish, manage or invest in a business in Australia.

Who this is for

  • Business owners and senior managers
  • Entrepreneurs and people with exceptional talent in their field
  • Investors exploring Australian opportunities

How this pathway works

Australia's business migration settings have changed significantly in recent years, and some business and investment visa programs are closed to new applications. Other options, including employer sponsored and state-nominated pathways, may suit business owners and senior executives.

Because this area changes often, review the options that are currently open against your business history, assets and plans before committing to a strategy.

Key considerations

  • Which programs are currently open to new applications
  • Your business ownership, turnover and management history
  • Personal and business assets, and how they can be evidenced
  • State or territory nomination priorities
  • Alternatives such as employer sponsorship of executives

Typical documents

Every case is different. These are documents commonly needed for this type of application; your own checklist depends on the visa and your circumstances.

  • Business financial statements and tax returns
  • Evidence of ownership and management roles
  • Evidence of personal assets and source of funds
  • Business plan where relevant
  • Passport and identity documents

What the consultation involves

  • A review of your background, goals and timeframe
  • An explanation of the visa options that may be available, and their pros and cons
  • The key requirements and risks to consider for your situation
  • The documents you are likely to need
  • Fees and next steps, confirmed in writing before any work begins

Frequently asked questions

Are business investment visas still available?
