How to Obtain a Business Visa in Australia



Australia’s strong economy attracts thousands of investors and businessmen who are out to set up shop in its major metropolitan areas. Before you can take advantage of the opportunities in the country, however, you must first qualify for a business visa. Here are some of the things you need to accomplish for a successful application and to avoid visa revocation.

Eligibility

There are two major requirements in applying for a business visa for Australia. First, you must have a successful business or investment career. This means you have a running business in your own country or in another one. Second, you must commit to engaging in business activities in Australia, which involves actively participating in your business’ day-to-day operations, and maintaining substantial ownership of the business.

Declaration

Once you arrive in Australia, you will be required to sign a declaration agreeing to notify the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) of your residential address within six months upon initial entry; and to notify the agency every time you change your address.

Condition

The Australian government will grant a business visa only if your business can achieve one of the following: develop connections with international markets, create and/or maintain jobs in the country, export Australian products or services, or produce goods or services that the country would otherwise import, introduce or improve technology, or contribute to the commercial activities in sectors of the Australian economy.
