Australian Working Visas

Permanent Residency for Business People

The Australian working visas page gets you started on the research for a permanent visa if you have already worked and developed your business down under or if you are a very talented business person. For all up-to-date, official information visit the department of immigration Australia website: www.immi.gov.au.


If you hold a temporary Australia business visa, have established and managed a successful company and want to continue doing this, you can apply to become a permanent resident.

Australian Working Visas -
Business Owners

To apply for a permanent resident visa as a company owner you must demonstrate that:
  • you hold a provisional business visa;
  • you own your company and have been involved in its management for a minimum of 2 years before your application;
  • you employed at least 2 local staff;
  • you want to continue working and managing your company.

You need to be very focused and continue to be successful with your firm as with this visa you cannot access family assistance or social security payments.

For all the details about eligibility, including the assets and yearly turnover of the firm click here. To increase your chances, check the websites of all the state and territory governments to see whether they offer any sponsorship. If your firm is involved in one of the economic activities that they are encouraging, then apply for sponsorship.

Read the details on the department of immigration Australia website.

Australian Working Visas -
Established Business in Australia

If you have been living in Australia for a while as a temporary resident and took the plunge to set up a company and made it successful, you can apply to become a permanent resident.

You need to score a number of points, based on your age, English knowledge, assets and turnover of your firm to be able to apply.

Here is where you can assess how many points you might get.

If you set up your company in a regional area, it is worth checking whether you can apply for permanent residence as a regional established business.
