  • Intend to live in South Australia.
  • Propose an investment that will meet the South Australian state nomination ‘benefit to state requirements’.

  • Provide detailed information on the viability and economic impact of the proposal to South Australia.

  • The choice of investment and/or business activity is based on the client’s preference; however, a business which is solely on selling imports (including bringing products into South Australia from other States/Territories) will require substantial justification to demonstrate the benefit to the state.

Flexibility & Control

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.
