The Business Talent visa is a permanent residency visa that allows high-calibre business people and venture capitalists to migrate to Australia. 

The visa has two streams:

Criteria to apply:

Once invited to apply, the applicant must either:

  • have net business and personal assets of at least AUD1.5 million and an annual business turnover of at least AUD3 million if they intend to apply for the visa in the Significant Business History stream, or
  • Have obtained at least AUD1 million in venture capital funding to start the commercialisation and development of a high-value business idea in Australia if they intend to apply for the visa in the Venture Capital Entrepreneur stream.
