Business visa fees
The Australian Government’s decision to close the Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP) on 31 July 2024 has disrupted the migration plans of many business owners and entrepreneurs. This change has compelled prospective migrants to explore alternative pathways, such as self-sponsorship under the Subclass 482 (Skills in Demand) visa and small business owner Subclass 491 visas, another potential option could be the New Zealand Business Investor Work Visa.
These alternatives demand investment, legal compliance, and a clear understanding of visa criteria. Engaging a professional migration agent or legal advisor is strongly recommended to increase your chances of success. Book a consultation to evaluate your visa options and pathways here.
