Mr. Ong & Mrs. OngWe migrated to SA 5 years ago under investment visa. We were a small boutique hotel owner and now we have brought over this family business over here. We found our life is more relaxed and happier than before. More over, the community is giving us many opportunities to participate in charitable events, health and fitness activities and provide us English lessons to ease our settlement into the society.....*

Why I need Australian
Business Visa?
• Corruption Free• Easy to doing Business• Free Trade Agreements• Government Support for
Investments• Taxation Incentives• A Strong Economy
• Band 4.5 for IELTS English test• 4 cities in Australia have been
voted as “The most livable cities of the world 2011” (Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth )
• Stable and Democratic Political System
As the baby boomers start to retire, they are looking to destinations at home and abroad. No longer are they content to stay in the same state where they lived working and raising children. With more disposable i n c o m e t h a n generations before, many soon-to-be retirees are seeking a warm climate and a lower cost-of-living, mixed with a little adventure. For many, Australia fits the bill, with its excellent bargains, top-notch health care and breathtaking scenery. Ever thought about retiring in the Land Down Under?
It may seem far away, but with the internet today, a computer and a modem connects you to the rest of the world. All of Australia's major cities are within an hour or two by plane. The infrastructure is sound, and the government is stable.
There are plenty of bank and loan services in Australia so you will never be lost in that department. There is shopping, cable TV and plentiful
r e c r e a t i o n . You'll also find an abundance of space, lots of social clubs to join if you choose and a "livability" not found in other places. The A u s t r a l i a n people are warm and generous, and a nice perk is
that they adore North Americans! The Gold Coast in particular, located on the southeast coast of Queensland, attracts thousands of retirees as it offers warm temperatures and plenty to do and see.
If you haven't considered Australia for retirement, now is the time to give it some thought!
z A Better Place to Grow z Australians of all backgrounds are expected to uphold the shared principles and values that underpin Australian society.
CLEAN, FRESH, GREEN, UNCROWDED AND REMINISCENT OF A TIME
WHEN THINGS COST LESS, THE PACE OF LIFE WAS SLOWER, AND
PEOPLE SEEMED FRIENDLIER TO ONE ANOTHER. AN AUSTRALIA
LIFESTYLE IS MORE POSSIBLE THAN YOU MAY THINK.

General Australia Business Visa Information:
Under the new two-stage arrangements introduced on 1 March 2003:
• successful Australian business visa applicants are first granted a Business Skills (Provisional) visa for four years, then;
• after establishing the requisite level of business or maintaining their eligible investment, are eligible to make an application for an Australian Business Skills (Residence) visa (permanent residence) - applied for in Australia
A direct permanent residence category will still be available for certain business migrants sponsored by State/Territory governments. This is known as the Business Talent visa.
Australia Tightens Up Eligibility Criteria
The Australian Government has tweaked the eligibility criteria for several of its business-related visa classes in order to try to “increase the potential contribution of business migrants to the economy, create more jobs for Australians and improve visa integrity”.
The changes raise the required asset value level of both the federal and state-sponsored visa classes for business owners and senior executives. In addition, the percentage of controlling interest for business ownership has been increased, especially in the case of smaller businesses (with turnover less than AU$400,000) where the holding must be at least 51%.
There has also been a tightening in the potential candidates for one of the main provisional visas – Subclass 163 - with the exclusion now of senior managers. Only business owners are now eligible for this visa.Source: DIAC, April 2010All of these changes mean that potential business migrants to Australia should carefully consider the terms and
direction of their application, as well as other factors, such as their business strategy and the time-scales involved. The use of a MARA-registered Migration Agent is
highly recommended for a thorough pre-application assessment and professional visa processing.

experience and evidence of English may be lower.
In cases of high net worth
inves tor v i sas, these requirements may be
altogether waived.

choose to spend their
prime years pursuing and
accumulating financial success. The prospect of
spending a small portion
of their capital to reside in a country with strong
fundamental and socio-economic provisions as
security for the family, a
world-class education system for their children
and some of the most
spectacular locations and climate to enjoy their lives
in, would be a feather in their cap.

JULY 2012 MAJOR CHANGE: Expression of Interest (EOI)
What if my circumstances change after lodging my EOI?
If your circumstances change after lodging your EOI and before you are invited to lodge a visa application, you would be required to update your information in the database. Updates to your skills would ensure that any documentation you submit in respect of a visa application is consistent with the information on the database. This may increase your score on the points test, therefore improving your chance of being issued with an invitation to lodge a visa application.
If the details you provide in your visa application do not match those contained in your EOI, you may not be granted a visa even if you meet the threshold criteria.
Find out your business migration options please contact Global Migration Solutions at +603 2142 5199 as soon as possible.
