Business & Investment Visa

Want to live in Australia with your partner permanently?

If you’re looking to set up a business or invest in Australia, a Business and Investment visa could be your pathway to permanent residency. To qualify, you’ll generally need at least two years of business or investment experience and net assets of AUD 800,000 or more.

Obligation-free, limited sessions each week

There are two main ways to get permanent residency through these visas:

Running a business in Australia

Successfully managing an Australian business can lead to PR.

Investing in Australia

Investing AUD 1.5 million or more in designated investments can also qualify you for PR.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main requirements for a Business & Investment visa?

You must be married, engaged, or in a de facto relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. You’ll also need to show that your relationship is genuine and ongoing. Each visa subclass has different requirements, so check the relevant page for details.

Immigration case officers assess Partner visas based on four key areas. You’ll need to provide evidence in each of these:

  1. Financial aspects
    Show you share financial commitments, like joint bank accounts, shared bills, and financial support.
  2. Nature of household
    Prove you’ve established a shared home. This can include joint lease agreements, utility bills in both names, or proof of living together.
  3. Social context
    Demonstrate that your relationship is known and accepted by friends and family. Photos together, social media interactions, and invitations can help support this.
  4. Nature of commitment
    Show that you rely on each other emotionally and for long-term companionship. Communication records like phone calls, messages, or evidence of significant shared experiences are great examples.

Processing times vary. Right now, 75% of 309 visas are processed within 16 months. The 100 visa is usually assessed two years after you apply, but you may be approved sooner if you meet certain criteria.
