Applicants who have been engaged in business 12 months should have professional auditors to check the financial statements and determine that their personal net assets are not less than 600,000 Australian dollars, including commercial net assets of not less than 200,000 Australian dollars.

188A visa ends once it is processed, which means that as long as you get a four-year temporary visa, your previous application ends.

It is suggested that the applicant keep the transfer receipt, because the visa officer has the right to ask the applicant to provide the overseas transfer receipt according to the specific circumstances when hearing the case. Therefore, even if you get a permanent residence visa, you should develop the good habit of keeping the transfer receipt for 5 years.

6. Can your spouse be the main applicant for 888 permanent residence?

The principal applicant of 188A can let his spouse be the principal applicant of 888, but it must be from beginning to end.

7. If the first business is half done, can I continue the new business?

According to Australian immigration law, the time for starting a business for the first time is not less than 6 months, and the time interval between starting a business for the first time and starting a business for the second time is not more than 45 days, so the time for starting a business can still be counted from the time of starting a business for the first time. However, applicants are advised to start a second venture first, and then consider giving up or selling it after the first venture is stable.

1. Apply for an Australian driver's license

In Australia, anyone aged 16 can apply for a driver's license. The exam is usually divided into two steps: the first step is the traffic rules exam (with Chinese version), that is, the applicant obtains the learning driver's license through the theoretical written test; The second step is the road test, that is, learning to drive on the road and obtaining a temporary driver's license through the road test.

Australian business immigrant visa holders can use China driver's license to drive within 3 months after their arrival in Australia. China's driver's license is not in English, so you should apply for a notarized English driver's license as soon as you arrive in Australia. However, for convenience, it is recommended to apply for an Australian driver's license as soon as possible. Business immigrant visa holders with a China driver's license can get a study driver's license only by taking a theoretical written test, and then they can take a road test directly, and then they can get a formal driver's license directly after passing. (No need to take a 3-year temporary driver's license! )

Open a bank account

Opening a bank account in an Australian bank requires important identification documents, such as passport and driver's license, and your address letter. (This can meet the minimum appraisal score of ordinary banks 100. )

In addition, Australians rarely carry large amounts of cash, debit cards, credit cards and personal checks with them. Banks in Australia are all connected to the national network, and they can handle account opening, deposit and withdrawal, remittance and other procedures at any branch in any city. Some branches of Australian banks in China can even open an account for you before you go to Australia, allowing you to remit money first and then use it in Australia.

New immigrants from Australia are advised to apply for and use credit cards. During daily consumption, try to use credit cards to accumulate credit, so as to lay a good foundation for mortgage loans for goods such as car purchase in the future. The credit card incentive scheme of Australian banks is generally 0.6- 1% of the total consumption, which is slightly higher than that of China.

3. Handling individual tax number TFN

Everyone who has a work permit in Australia must apply for a tax number, usually 9 digits. It is used in work, tax declaration, tax payment, use of government services and application for welfare. The tax number can be applied after the first login. Or when you are in Australia, you can apply on the website of the Inland Revenue Department, and you need to provide your address in Australia. Usually, if you don't provide the tax number to your bank, the bank will help the tax bureau deduct your tax from the interest. Therefore, gold experts remind everyone that it is very important to provide personal tax numbers to banks.

4. Enjoy preferential treatment for students

Children of business investment immigrants enjoy preferential student treatment in Australia. Usually, the children of business investment immigrants are treated differently on different continents! For example, in Xinzhou, where Sydney is located, children under the age of 18 need to pay about 5,000 Australian dollars every year (the children of Sydney business immigrants who recently came to Australia are all free! It has been changed several times, but it is good for the applicant), while in South Australia, you may only need to pay a registration fee of about 200 Australian dollars and an extra school uniform fee, and the tuition fee is free. However, this preferential policy is limited to the States that sponsor immigrants. If children study in other States, they have to pay the full tuition fee for international students, which is about 12000 Australian dollars per year. Public middle schools enroll students according to the school district. You can take your children to the nearest middle school registration office to register. If there are vacancies in the school, you can simply go to school after the exam. Due to the registration procedures, new investment immigrants must have a permanent residence after arriving in Australia.

Children who want to attend private schools, pre-university courses or universities must pay the full tuition fee for international students. Because it is not restricted by the school district, you can complete the registration procedures in China and go to school after you arrive in Australia.

5. Learn immigrant English

Business immigrant visa holders can sign up for English language training courses specially for new immigrants after arriving in Australia and settling down. The tuition fee has been paid to the Australian government before the visa is approved, and there is no refund if it is not used.
