Business Talent Visa (132)

Business Talent Permanent (Subclass 132) Visa

 

Business Talent visa is a part of Australian Business Program which aims at expanding the Australian economy. This visa is available by invitation only. Before being invited to apply, you must first submit an Expression of Interest through Skill Select specifying, the business stream you are interested in, whether Significant Business History stream or the Venture Capital Entrepreneur stream. You must also indicate whether you are interested in just one or all states and territories. When your Expression of Interest is in Skill Select, it can be viewed and a state or territory can decide whether to nominate you to apply for a visa. States and territories have their own criteria for deciding who they nominate. In most cases, and before you are nominated, the relevant state or territory will contact you to discuss business possibilities.

The Business Talent visa(subclass 132) has two streams:

The Significant Business History stream is for affluent owners or part owners of a business who want to have a major management role in a new or existing business in Australia.

The Venture Capital Entrepreneur stream is for people who have obtained at least AUD 1 million in funding from an Australian venture capital firm.

You must be less than 55 years of age, although a state or territory can waive this requirement if your proposed business will be of exceptional economic benefit to the relevant region.
