Business
Talent Category
This page has
information on who can apply for migration to
Australia under the Business Talent (Migrant)
category.
It is a general guide
only, but it will help you decide if this category
applies to you.
If you decide to make
an application, it is essential that you read the
detailed information in Booklet
7, Business Skills Entry.
Summary
of migration requirements
High-calibre business
persons may apply for direct permanent residence in
the first instance. If you are successful you will be
granted a permanent visa.
You can be outside
Australia or in Australia, but you must lodge your
application at one of the three Business Skills
processing centres in either Hong Kong, Taipei or
Perth, depending on where you usually live.
You must have
sponsorship from a State or Territory government.
State and Territory
governments have their own criteria for deciding whom
they will sponsor.
See: Business
