Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) visa (subclass 188)
The business innovation and investment visas are suitable for people under 55 years of age (some waiver provisions on age restrictions may apply), who have business skills and want to set up and manage a new or existing business in Australia. This also applies to offshore Investors who want to invest into a business within Australia. It is a temporary visa and provides an opportunity to apply later for a permanent visa (subclass 888); providing that the requirements of the visa are still met.
There are 5 streams for this visa, each with their own requirements:
The subclass 188 visa application requires the applicant to first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) before being nominated by an Australian State or Territory government, and subsequently being invited to apply for the visa. Our lawyers are able to guide you through your Business Visa options, to ensure you choose the best stream for your situation and are able to meet the requirements.
