Give your Australian Business Visa Application The Best Chance of Success

Many business owners, investors and senior managers each year emigrate to Australia to pursue new business and family lives down under. Business migrants are influences by a range of factors to emigrate, some quite personal and other factors commonly shared – a desire to live in a warmer climate for example or perhaps to pursue a new business opportunity.

One of the biggest challenges to become a business migrant to Australia is successfully obtaining an Australian buisness visa. Even with high levels of ability and wide experience in business management or investment activities, most business people can still be stumped by complex visas requirements the Australian government has established to assess them as a possible business migrant.

To make matters more challenging, many business people are also time-poor – excellent time managers – but still time poor – after all there are only so many hours in the day. Their schedules are an ongoing balancing act between business commitments and family life. Having to then study and understand business migration rules and regulations for hours and hours can be a daunting prospect.

If you are a business person reading this who is looking at apply for an Australian business visa and perhaps can relate to what I have said, consider the significant amount of work and possible stress you will be adding to your already full life.

Are you ready to take this on?

There are no guarantees of success when making an application despite the complex process you must go through but you have to give yourself the best chance of success of when taking on the process.

As of 19 April 2010, the Australian government  made several major changes to its business visa migration programme to take effect immediately.

This changes were made after the Australian government considered comments and feedback from State governments bodies like Western Australia and Queensland who sponsor the majority of business visa application.  The main reasoning for the changes were that they would promote benefits to the Australian economy such as job creation and also improve the integrity of the visa system.

Increased net assets

Any Australian business applicant wanting to apply for a State sponsored business owner visas subclass 163 or a State sponsored senior executive visa subclass 164 will now need to have a minimum net asset level of AU500,000.  Previously the minimum requirement was AU$250,000.

Any Australian business visa applicant wanting to apply for a Business owner visa subclass 160 or Senior executive visa subclass 161 will now need to have a minimum net asset level of AU$800,000.  Previously the minimum requirement was AU$500,000.

The increase is apparently due to increased cost of living and doing business in Australia.

Increased business ownership

Previously, Australian business visa applicants who were relying on business ownership interest, were required to show at least 10% ownership share in their main business.  As of today, the following will apply:-

1. Where business turnover is AU$400,000 or less, an applicant must have at least 51% ownership interest.

2. Where the business turnover is above AU$400,000, an applicant must have at least 30% ownership interest.

3. Where the business is a publicly listed company, an applicant must have at least 10% ownership interest.

This amendment applies to all business owner visas (subclasses 132, 160, 163, 890, 892, 845, 846) and applies to the definition of ‘main business’ at Migration Regulation 1.11.

A transitional provision will be available for onshore visa applicants who have purchased a business in Australia prior to the change and are applying for a permanent onshore business owner visa (subclasses 890, 892, 845, 846).

Senior Manager option removed

As of today, 19 April 2010, Australian business visa applicants will not be able to apply under the Senior manager option.  Due to fraud and integrity issues with past applications this option has been removed from the Australian business visa system.  For senior managers of major overseas business, option of a Senior executive visa may be viable given the change or employer sponsored visa.

Western Australia and Queensland governments would sponsor the majority of applications . . . → Read More: Australian Business Visa Subclass 163]]> The State sponsored business owner (Provisional)(Subclass 163) visa is the most popular choice of visa for potential business migrants around the world and it accounts for approximately 90% of Australian business visa applications made to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC).

Western Australia and Queensland governments would sponsor the majority of applications for this business visa.

The Subclass 163 business visa requirements are:-

• You are less than 55 years of age
• You owned a business which had turnover of at least A$300,000 for 2 out of the last 4 financial years and in those 2 years you managed the business on a day to day basis
• In addition, you must have owned at least:

1. 51 per cent of the business where the turnover is less than AUD400 000 per annum., or
2. 30 per cent of the business where the turnover is AUD400 000 or more per annum, or
3. 10 per cent where the business is a publicly listed company.

• You have a successful business ownership and management background.
• Your net asset level is at least A$500,000 plus an additional amount for your settlement costs in Australia
• You have not been engaged in a business where the provision of professional, technical or trade services took up more than 50 per cent of your time
• You have a genuine commitment to engage in business activities in Australia and has demonstrate that Australia will benefit economically from the proposed business or investment
• State sponsorship approval

If you are business owner want to move to Australia consider applying for an Australian business visa, Mege Dalton of Business Visas Australia would be happy to provide you with an free assessment of your eligibility to apply for a business visa to Australia.

Rankings released by CommSec, the sharetrading subsidiary of the Commonwealth Bank, named Western Australia as the country’s best performing economy.

The Western Australian economy is powering along thanks to ongoing Chinese demand for resources, and the state . . . → Read More: Surprising Growth For Western Australian Economy]]> Western Australia continues to thrive, with the local economy growing faster than any other state in Australia.

Rankings released by CommSec, the sharetrading subsidiary of the Commonwealth Bank, named Western Australia as the country’s best performing economy.

The Western Australian economy is powering along thanks to ongoing Chinese demand for resources, and the state is not expected to be knocked off its perch in the near future.

The next three years will be stronger than previously thought, rising to 4.5 per cent in 2010-11, 5.5 per cent in 2011-12 and 6.25 per cent in 2012-13, according to a report released by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This figure is much higher than previously expected.

Economists are surprised and are scrambling to update their growth forecasts as companies dust off their expansion plans sooner than expected after a downturn that had threatened to send the resource-dependent state into a deep recession.

The West Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry announced that it has ramped up its economic growth forecasts for the state for the second time in just three months.

Western Australia is getting income from the economic growth made by local businesses, with investment improving and looks to expand in the favorable economic climate.

There is a big increase in consumer spending, as households feel more confident about splashing out on ‘non-essential’ items like new cars, meals and consumer electronics.

“Western Australia’s prospects were the strongest of any Australian jurisdiction”, says CommSec chief economist Craig James. “Western Australia still appears to have the best prospect of all the states and territories, benefiting from strong demand for resources, especially from China, and, more broadly, Asia”.

The Chamber of Commerce & Industry reported that business investment is expected to grow by 7 % in 2010-11, picking up to 9.75 % in 2011-12 and 12 % in 2012-13 as construction begins on planned projects worth up to $200bn. Its previous forecast of a 5.25 % contraction in business investment in 2009-10 has been revised up to a 2 % contraction, reflecting the rapid turnaround in business confidence.

The mega-projects on the way in the state include the $43bn Gorgon liquefied natural gas development on Barrow Island, where early construction has begun, and Woodside’s Pluto gas project near Karratha, which is to start exporting early next year.

The Chamber of Commerce & Industry has also lifted its forecast for exports given that demand has remained “surprisingly strong” during the downturn.

Exports grow this year with volumes holding up and commodity prices beginning to rise, as opposed to its earlier forecast.
But the impact of the slowdown is still being felt in employment, which is expected to grow by just 0.25% during 2009-10.

The unemployment rate in Western Australia is also going down, in fact it was 5.7% in the last quarter of 2009, and now it is expected to drop 3% by the end of 2012/13.

“With the booming Western Australian economy, it is essential that skills requirements are met in order to avoid a massive skills shortage”, commented by the Western Australian Business News.

Thinking of emigrating to Australia?

If you are then read on……

An Australian Investor visa maybe an option for you.  There are 2 types of visas int he Australian business investor category:-the State sponsored Investor visa subclass 165 and the Investor visa subclass 162.  Both are provisional visas are granted for a period of 4 years.  After this period, a visa holder is then able to apply for the permanent business investor visa, known as the state sponsored Investor visa subclass 893 and the Investor visa subclass 891.

Before you can begin to plan your move to Australia you have to take care of the visa/immigration aspect.

As you might have discovered doing any kind of online research, the Australian government has strict rules regarding immigration to it’s shores by migrants.

Being a seasoned business person, strict rules and requirements are not necessarily going to phase or deter you from taking on the Australian business visa process as dealing with regulatory bodies, bureucracy is probably something you are used to doing in your own business.

What your main concern is – How do I apply and successfully obtain this visa in the most efficient and cost-effective way.

This is where I come in as an Australian business visa expert, I know the ins and outs of the particular Australian business investor visa requirements.  As a potential Australian business visa applicant your situation will be unique, in my experience I have never come across any 2 cases which were the same, that’s one of the reasons I really enjoy what I do.   To date I have a 100% success rate and the key to this success is ensuring I fully understand my client situation in the context of the visa requirements.

If you are reading this and are a business owner or investor, have at least $1,125,000 in net assets and would be willing to make a designated investment bond of $750,000 for a period of 4 years which would be the duration of the visa, then get in contact with me. I would be happy to assess you fully on your eligiblity for an Australian business investor visa with no obligation.
