Business Visas The Business Skills category caters for business persons who: ● Are owners (or part-owners) of a business (or businesses), senior executives employed by major businesses or business employees with a high level of management skill who will use their business skills to obtain a substantial ownership interest in a new or existing business in Australia and actively participate in that business at a senior management level or ● Have a substantial business or investment background and are willing to invest in a designated investment in Australia. On 1 March 2003 major changes to the Business Skills category were introduced with the principal goals being: ● Maximising the number of business migrants successfully engaging in business in Australia. ● Better dispersal of the business migration intake to enable regional and low growth areas of Australia to attract business people they need to promote regional economic development and growth. ● To provide a clearer pathway to permanent residence for persons who establish a business while temporarily resident in Australia. Only those business migrants with the most substantial business backgrounds and capital to invest and who have the highest level of state/territory government support are eligible immediately for a Migrant (Business Talent) visa. All other business migration applicants must apply for a provisional visa under the 2-stage processing arrangements and may apply for permanent residence after successfully getting into business in Australia.
