Investment Australia
You must first apply for a Investor (Provisional) visa. If you are successful, you will be granted a visa for a period of 4 years.
You can be outside Australia or in Australia, but you must lodge your application at one of the three Business Skills processing centres in either Hong Kong, Taipei or Perth, depending on where you usually live.
Providing you have successfully maintained your Designated Investment for the minimum 4 years and you continue to hold a valid Investor (Provisional) visa, you will be eligible to apply for a permanent Investor (Residence) visa or a permanent Business Owner (Residence) visa. You must apply in Australia.
If an applicant has sponsorship from a State or Territory government and applies for the State/Territory Sponsored Investor (Provisional), State/Territory Sponsored Investor (Residence) or a State/Teritory Sponsored Business Owner (Residence) visa, they are considered against lower threshold criteria.
State and Territory governments have their own criteria for deciding whom they will sponsor. To find out about sponsorship requirements, see Business Skills Sponsorship.
