Business Owner (provisional) Visa
The Business Owner (Provisional) Visa is for people who are able to demonstrate a successful business career and now have a genuine and realistic commitment to be involved as an owner in a new or existing business in Australia.
If you are successful in your application for a Provisional Business Visa, you are eligible to make an application for a Business Owner (Residence) Visa after establishing the requisite level of business or maintaining an eligible investment for a specified period.
This visa is a temporary visa, and the first step towards being granted a permanent Business Skills visa. You must be outside Australia when this visa is granted, unless you held a student visa at the time you applied.
You may be eligible for a permanent Business Skills visa after holding this visa for a minimum of two (2) years. To be eligible for a permanent Business Skills visa you must meet all the obligations of this visa and additional requirements of the permanent Business Skills visa you apply for. Meeting these requirements may take you longer than two (2) years.
After two (2) years you may be eligible to apply for one of the following permanent visas:
- Business Owner (residence)
or - State/Territory Sponsored Business Owner (residence)
The Business Owner Provisional Visa is valid for four years.
If the visa is granted while you are:
- in Australia (Student visa holders only), it is valid from the date of grant
- outside Australia, it is valid from the entry expiry date on your visa label.
The following people may be included in your application:
- your spouse
- your or your spouse's dependent children
- other dependent relatives living with you.
With this visa you are unable to access Medicare, the Australian Government medical expenses and hospital care scheme, nor can you access any social security benefits.
In Summary, you can:
- establish a new or existing business in Australia
- travel in and out of Australia any number of times as long as the visa is valid
- have your family accompany you to Australia. They will have access to work and study rights
- establish a pathway to permanent residence.
Remember
You may be eligible for a number of different visa categories and each has different requirements and obligations. Please select the various visa options from the left menu to discover which visa may best suit your circumstances, or complete the enquiry form on the right, or request a free visa assessment.
