Business Migration

Page Seager Lawyers can offer you our full range of migration and business legal expertise to assist you to establish a business in Australia.

Background

All business and investment migration applications are assessed against Australia's new business migration laws which took effect on 1 March 2004.

Every state of Australia is keen to attract business migration and investment.

All Australian states, and especially the developing regions, aim to attract business migration by offering state-sponsored visas with easier criteria than ordinary business migration visas.

Business migration to Australia is generally a two-stage process:

• A "first-stage" provisional/temporary four year visa period, during which the business migrant is expected to establish or acquire an active ownership interest of at least 10% in a business in Australia.
• A "second stage" permanent residence visa.

The only exception to the two-stage process is the Subclass 132 Business Talent Visa, which gives permanent residence.
