In order to come to Australia to start a new business, a candidate must first apply for a provisional visa. After successfully running a business in Australia for 2 years, the candidate can make an application for a permanent Business Owner (Resident) Visa Subclass 890 or a State or Territory Sponsored Business Owner (Resident) Visa, Subclass 892.
The criteria for entry to Australia as a Senior Executive Business Skills migrant are complex and relate closely to your personal history of business success and your research and plans for the new business. States and Territories in Australia encourage business migrants and are helpful by giving information on tax, real estate details, counsel, and guidance or support for family settlement.
This visa is primarily for Senior professionals who have been employed in one of the top three levels of administration within a major business. Potential applicants should check the guidelines for the State/Territory Sponsored Senior Executive (Provisional) Visa, Subclass 164.
Depending on which State/Territory you apply to, and your type of business, a sponsorship will yield lower requirements on the financial requirements and a loosening of the age requirement. Some States/Territories include assistance with settlement and business set-up support. Sponsorship is well worth applying for.

ASSISTANCE WITH THIS VISA OR OTHER VISAS?
This is a very complicated visa application and the outcome of any application is problematic. Each visa candidate must meet the demanding requirements of the visa application. Each must find sponsorship. The help of a migration agent is very strongly advised. Here is our general link to the Migration Agents Registration Authority so that you can better understand what migration agents do with regard to visas, their responsibilities and your rights as a member of the public in regard to Australian Visas and Citizenship.
