Here are a few excellent reasons to use an Investor visa to route to Australia. Here are some of the main benefits:
Our A$1.5m route is currently the most popular. It allows a person to emigrate while offering comfort over the funds employed.
While A$500k is used to secure shares in a business, the A$1m is protected in a fund providing a fixed rate of interest per annum with the invested funds returned when you secure Permanent Residency.
Therefore, assuming the worst-case scenario that the business is worthless after the initial four years. The cost of emigration for your family is capped at A$125K plus emigration fees.
Please note less than 50 places are remaining on the scheme and are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Simple steps to secure your Investor visa:
Australia Investor visas are becoming increasingly popular, with more and more investors choosing to relocate to Australia. According to the Department of Home Affairs, there were 8,656 Investor visas granted in the 2021-22 financial year, an increase of 16% from the previous year. The popularity of Investor visas can be attributed to the many benefits they offer, including business opportunities, residency, and access to world-class education and healthcare systems.
Unfortunately, the current government has limited the places available to 1,900 for 2023 – 2024. While demand remains high, competition for these places will be intense, with visas being allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to those applicants with winning cases.

Various Investor visas require A$1.5m. All investments must be maintained for at least 4-years before Permanent Residency is awarded to the investors and their families.
After the initial 4-year investment period an investor and their family can look forward to becoming Australian Citizens. When they will become eligible will depend on how much time they spend in Australia each year.
Buying property alone is not enough to secure an investor visa or PR. However, a person may purchase property, along with other investments to qualify for PR. Non-residences purchasing property will also be subject to the FIRB rules.
Unfortunately, Australia does not sell PR. Instead, an investor must invest in State-approved compliant investment frameworks for a period of 4-years before applying for PR. During the investment period, they may live in Australia.
Your options are limited to being a Significant Investor of A$5m or a person with significant global talent. Australia calculated that older migrants are at a greater risk of becoming a burden on the public purse, with limited tax contributions.
Boasting one of the world’s highest standards of living, a booming economy, a safe environment and an excellent educational system. Australia is the preferred choice for those lucky enough to be eligible to emigrate there.
188 visa holders may apply to enrol for Medicare. We also advise our clients to take out additional medical insurance during your early years in Australia to boost your level of medical cover.
There are four key Business, Investment and Innovation Programme (BIIP) visa streams, with varying qualifying criteria. That said, most BIIP streams require investors to achieve a minimum of 65 on the investor points assessment.
By introducing the points test, Australia is attempting to treat all global investors equally by fitting them into ridged boxes where points may be applied equally.
We believe each case is unique and must be dealt with on its merits. This approach to our work has led to a 100% success rate.
Each year, the Australian federal and state governments review the 188 visa programme to ensure it delivers the best possible outcomes for Australia. Where deemed necessary changes are introduced without advanced notice. State governments open and close the investor visa stream within their respective jurisdictions as deem necessary to meet the local economic objectives.
That said, once an investor secures an invitation to emigrate (State Nomination), any future changes to the emigration policy will not affect their case.
