BUSINESS SKILL MIGRATION
Business migration aims to attract business owners and investors to Australia.
If you genuinely want to invest in, establish or purchase an Australian business, Visas 188 or 132 might be for you. They can also be a stepping-stone to permanent residency.
WHY DO BUSINESS IN AUSTRALIA?
Australia is an attractive place to do business. We have a strong and resilient economy, a skilled workforce, a culture of innovation, and strong ties to Asia.
