Business Visa - ???

There are excellent opportunities for successful business people to settle in Australia by establishing or investing in an Australian business. There are also visa options available to self-managed investors. There are many different types of business visas available and we can only feature some of them here, and they involve more detail than we are able to provide in this space.

In general terms, applicants have to show that they have skills to enhance the economy through developing a new or existing business or investing significant funds in Australia.

Business migration can be extremely complex with a wide range of different business visas available and we are available to assist you with identifying which visa is the most suitable to your situation.

A brief overview of the Business Short Stay Visa, the Business Owner, Senior Executive and Investor visa categories are provided. Other visas which are available under the Business Skills Category, include visas for Business Employee Managers and High Caliber Business Talents.

There is mostly a two-stage structure for business migration. Only the Business Talent visa provides direct permanent residency, and this requires a consistently high business performance, with one of the criteria being turnover of at least A$3,000,000 in two of the four years immediately before the date of application.

BUSINESS SHORT STAY VISA:

Business people from selected countries can visit Australia for 3 months or less to attend business meetings or to explore business opportunities by applying for an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) through an easy online application.

If you live in one of the following countries you can apply for an ETA:

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK, USA, Vatican City.

If your country is not on this list you can still apply for a similar visa at your nearest Australian Embassy.

Immigration will mean 'no fall in Australian house market'

High immigration levels to Australia mean the country is unlikely to experience a crash in the property market. The global property sector's recent uncertainty has been predicted to leave the country unaffected as people holding a visa to Australia will need accommodation, according to the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH).

Low construction levels coupled with increased levels of highly skilled migrants and business to Australia is creating a shortage of supply in the housing market, meaning house prices are unlikely to fall. The SMH has predicted a crash in prices "isn't on the cards for at least a few years". It added that people engaged in Australian immigration may even be able to pick up a bargain property when entering the country.

Terry Ryder, a former property writer and owner of Hot Spotting, told the newspaper of 12 locations in the country where it is possible for Australian visa holders to buy for under AUS$200,000 (£97,000), with one region having homes available for $90,000. Senator Chris Evans, the Immigration and Citizenship Minister, dismissed claims last week that Australian visa holders would increase house prices. Instead, he said they would boost the low housing stocks.
