Overview of Australian immigrants

australian business immigration

I. Introduction:

Since March 1 2003, the Australian government has made major changes to its business immigration policy. The implementation of the new policy will help alleviate all kinds of disadvantages brought by the old policy. It will be more beneficial to immigrants from all countries, especially entrepreneurs from China. Through the guarantee of the state or territory, investors have established close contact with them and obtained information and materials in time, which greatly improves the chances of investors' success in starting a business. The new policy mainly implements the "two-stage immigration procedure", cancels the examination method for commercial immigrants (skilled immigrants are still in the scoring system), and mainly measures applicants in two aspects, namely business background and personal assets.

After the approval of the first stage, almost all applicants can obtain a temporary residence visa for four years, and they can apply for a permanent residence visa after settling in Australia and successfully starting a business for two years. The new policy highlights the role of the state government. If the English level and age can't meet the requirements, you can apply for a guarantee. The division of guaranteed and non-guaranteed categories can better meet the needs of applicants in different situations.

Second, the characteristics of the new policy:

The application time is short, usually within one year;

Guaranteed by the state government, under 55 years old, no English requirements.

After one spouse settles down, the other spouse automatically obtains a visa;

Material preparation and audit requirements are more in line with the actual situation in China;

Reduce capital requirements and pay more attention to the investment benefits of applicants.

Australia 457 visa

1. Concept: The purpose of the 457 visa is a long-term business visa for the Australian government, also known as a multiple-entry long-term work visa, in order to attract more overseas professional and technical personnel and enterprises to work in Australia and facilitate overseas enterprises and business people to conduct business activities in Australia.

(2) The applicant is employed by his own domestic unit or overseas company, that is, the employer nominates him to go to Australia. (This is a 457 labor visa)

Remarks: If the applicant is a business person, his business background should be related to his business activities after going to Australia. If the applicant is a professional technician, you can also choose a 457 investment visa. The types of business activities include buying shares of existing enterprises in Australia, choosing business types to register companies, joining, direct selling or economic and trade, financial auditing, etc.

Four, the basic requirements of the visa:

(1) The applicant's occupation belongs to the category in the Australian occupation list;

(2) The applicant must have 6 months of relevant work experience 12 months before the application;

(3) Applicants meet the medical examination requirements.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Comparison between 457 investment visa and 457 labor visa;

1 457 investment visa:

(1) You can bring your relatives, and there is no restriction on your study and work. Minor children attend public schools free of charge;

(2) No gender or age restrictions, no English requirements;

(3) the treatment period is short, only 3-4 months;

(4) There is no need for an interview, guaranteed by the state government, and no need to pass the skilled immigrant scoring test system, so the visa success rate is extremely high;

(5) During the period of holding this visa, you can apply for a green card if you have worked in Australia for 2 years and lived in Australia for 2 years, and the applicant's family will obtain permanent residency;

(6) During the period of holding this visa, you can travel to and from Australia for unlimited times; Therefore, the main applicant does not have to give up domestic business;

(7) If the applicant does not want to apply for permanent residence, he can decide to apply for an extension every four years.

Remarks: The biggest feature of the 457 investment visa is that it provides an effective prelude to obtaining an Australian green card. In fact, the 457 investment visa is the best, most direct and quickest way to immigrate to Australia, and the success rate can reach over 95%.

2457 labor service visa:

(5) The applicant's occupation must be in the list of occupations in Australia, and it must also be in short supply;

(6) Going to Australia for unlimited times;

(8) The visa period ranges from 3 months to 4 years. After the expiration, determine whether the working period can be extended according to the requirements of the employer;

Summary: Regardless of the 457 investment visa or the 457 labor visa, the Australian Immigration Bureau should consider whether the business people's own enterprises or the enterprises nominated by Australian domestic employers actually operate. If there is only one license, the "leather bag company" will not work. Therefore, the Australian Immigration Bureau welcomes SME owners, senior managers or professional technicians to conduct business activities and develop business opportunities in Australia. Therefore, the success rate of 457 investment visa is much higher than that of 457 labor visa.

Summary: If the applicant fails to pass the scoring requirements for skilled immigrants and the total assets of the whole family are insufficient, you can choose a 457 investment visa; If the applicant's family assets are sufficient and meet the requirements, he can choose Australian business immigrants.
