The Business Visa is a great opportunity for those who want to own/manage a business, conduct investment activities, or undertake an entrepreneurial venture in Australia. It allows you to live and work in Australia for an indefinite period of time. It gives you the freedom to pursue your business goals without having to worry about your visa status.
The Australia Business Visa also allows you to bring your family with you and provide them with the same opportunities to live and work in the country if they qualify. Should you be interested in starting a business here, or expanding your current business into the Australian market, the Business Visa is the perfect option for you.
Regardless of business visa type you’re aiming to apply for, the following
are the general business visa Australia requirements:
An expression of interest (EOI) showing your personal information, qualifications, and work experience, which demonstrates your intention to be invited to apply.
You must be nominated by a State/Territory government agency, such as The Australian Trade and Investment Commission or Austrade.
Receive an invitation letter for business visa Australia
Depending on your specific visa needs, there are different types of business visas to obtain in Australia.
It’s important to determine which AUS business visa you intend to and are fit to apply for. This will be
crucial in submitting the right and complete documents for approval. These are as follows:
The Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) visa (subclass 188) is part of
the Business Innovation and Investment Programme.
This allows applicants with business skills to operate a new or existing business.
You must invest at least AUD 2.5 million in Australia to obtain a provisional visa and stay up to five (5) years.
This is best for visa applicants who invest at least AUD 5 million in Australian investments.
Allows visa holders of subclass 188 under the business investor stream to extend their stay for two (2) more years after they were granted their original provisional visa.
Visa holders of the significant investor stream can extend their stay for up to four more years, or 8 years in total from the original grant of date of their subclass 188 visa.
For applicants who were nominated by Austrade and whose Australian investments or philanthropic contributions amount to no less than 15 million AUD.
To conduct entrepreneurial activities in Australia, you must first be nominated by an Australian agency and have a funding agreement with a third party.
The Business Innovation and Investment (Permanent) visa (subclass 888) serves as the second stage after securing a Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) visa (subclass 188). After you have fulfilled the requirements for this temporary visa, you can apply for a PR under subclass 888 through any of the following streams.
Subclass 188 visa holders in either the Business Innovation stream or its Extension stream, as well as for holders of a subclass 444 visa holders, and certain subclass 457 visa holders (Business (Long Stay)) are eligible to apply for permanent visa under this category.
Intended for subclass 188 visa holders in the investor stream who have invested AUD 1.5 million for the last four (4) years.
Suitable for subclass 188 visa holders in the significant investor stream who have invested AUD 5 million in Australian investments for the last four (4) years.
For subclass 188 visa holders in the premium investor stream for 12 months, and whose investments must be at least AUD 15 million since the grant of their subclass 188 visa.
Applicable for subclass 188 visa holders in the Entrepreneur stream for the last four (4) years, lived in the country for at least two (2) years while on visa, and must show proof of successful entrepreneurial activities held in Australia while on said visa.
The Business Talent visa (subclass 132) is a permanent residence visa for business people who
are nominated by the State or Territory government agency.
For experienced business owners to conduct business operations in Australia, whether new or an existing one, must have a lawfully acquired net value of no less than AUD1.5 million.
Additionally, their yearly business turnover must be at least AUD3 million for at least two (2) of the four (4) fiscal years before actual invitation to apply.
Finally, the business owner must have at least AUD 400,000 in total net assets as its ownership interest in one (1) or more qualifying businesses for at least two (2) of the four (4) fiscal years before actual invitation to apply.
This is the specific visa type for applicants and individuals who have obtained funding from a member of the Australian Investment Council (AIC), or the Australian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association Limited (AVCAL) as it is formerly known. Funding sourced from an Australian venture capital firm must be no less than AUD1 million.

of the most common ones alongside our responses.
You must first determine the right business visa for you. For example, if you’re applying for the Business Innovation (Provisional) stream visa, you must be an experienced business owner and nominated by a government agency to operate a new or existing business in Australia.
If you apply and get approved for a Business Innovation And Investment (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 188) under the business innovation stream, you can stay for up to five years and be eligible to apply for permanent residency via Business Innovation And Investment (Permanent) Visa (Subclass 888) under the business innovation stream.
Business opportunities in Australia are limitless and, provided you meet all the requirements, you can even apply for permanent residency three years after your provisional business visa was first granted.
If you’re applying for subclass 188 visa under the Business Innovation stream, you must show proof of successful business ownership for the last two years with a total net value of at least AUD 1.25 million. For the investor stream, on the other hand, Australia business minimum investment amount should be no less than AUD 2.5 million.
If you’re applying for subclass 188 under the Entrepreneur stream, meanwhile, what is instead required is a funding agreement from a third-party in order to carry out entrepreneurial activities in Australia.
It can be quite a complex process, and your chances of being granted a business visa will decrease if: you fail to provide sufficient documents for your application and/or fail to demonstrate a genuine need for a business visa.
