Migrating as a Business Person

Business Skills migration aims to attract business people with a proven record of business skills and expertise. In particular, it looks at the level of experience of a successful business or investment owner, or senior executive.

The Business Skills category is divided into five sub-classes:

Business Owner - for owners or part-owners of a business;

Senior Executive - for senior executive employees of major businesses;

Established Business in Australia - for people temporarily in Australia who are owners or part owners of a business;

Regional Established Business in Australia - for people temporarily in Australia who are owners or part owners of a business in a designated area of Australia;

Investment-Linked - for investors/business people willing to invest in Australia.

Lodging an application
If you wish to lodge a Business Skills migration application, you should obtain the Business Skills Migration Booklet, which includes the application forms, from this website or any Australian mission or Immigration office in Australia.

Not all overseas Department offices process Business Skills applications. You should also refer to the Perth Business Skills Processing Centre for more information on where to lodge your application.
