Australian business visas

«Australian Business Innovation and Investment Program»

Australian Business Visa and Investor Program is open for entrepreneurs over 45 years old. The Program provides an opportunity to immigrate to Australia for businessmen and investors, their spouses, and children without the knowledge of English at all with an option to learn English in Australia after the business visa is granted. The Australian Business Innovation and Investment Program is well structured. The most suitable immigration strategy can be chosen depending on the financial capabilities, business performance, and personal preferences of the applicant. There are two major avenues for entry into Australia provided for below:

Provisional Visa holder, rendering you eligible for permanent residency in Australia once you have established a business in the country.
