Category of people wishing to immigrate - they are people with a certain amount of adventure in his character, this restless heart, seeking new and better. These people follow the principle of 'do not like the life? - Change '
Money, coupled with experience in the business - that the necessary ingredients for a quick and successful passage of the immigration process. In principle, no nation will not abandon the entrepreneur willing to invest the money in the economy and work for a new home. This country is actively receiving immigrants, who can work (as the head and hands), able to organize the desired country and business know how to manage them, ready to invest in the prosperity of their new homeland is Australia.
According to Australian immigration law, permanent residency can be obtained not only in the category "professional" or "family" immigration, but also by category, business immigration, to bring to Australia of people with a solid reputation, knowledge and business experience.
And in Australia has a number of programs on business immigration ("Business Skills"). Until recently, there were four most popular types of business visas:
1. "Business Owner" - "Business owner"
2. "Head" - "Senior Executive"
3. "Investor" - "Investment Linked"
4. "The owner of a business based in Australia" - "Established Business in Australia"
The most important part of the applications made by one of these immigration categories, is a preliminary assessment of the business qualifications of the candidate on immigration, as well as the validity of his desire to develop business in Australia. For all these categories, until recently there was "assessment test", points at which recruited for:
the amount of capital invested in the business;
attributes of business;
the number of people employed in the business;
investment experience;
private equity businessman;
English language proficiency;
age.
Although, unlike profimmigrantov, in the case of businessmen, investors, entrepreneurs and other representatives of the business categories of immigrants such criteria as age, occupation and language were not conclusive. The main thing that the applicant for business immigration, had the necessary capital and well understood as intended to dispose of them for the benefit of the country and for themselves.
Thus, we can say that the Australian immigration law and previously contained a very mild conditions, business immigration. In accordance with the program adopted in 1991, the focus here is on the real business of the applicant.
But only recently come into force new rules regulating the process of business immigration to Australia. The main reason for the change was the desire of the Department of Immigration to raise the efficiency of the selection of business immigrants and, thus, increase the financial impact of the involvement of foreign businessmen who receive a residence permit in Australia, the country's economy. In addition, made decisive steps towards enhancing the participation of state and territory governments in the immigration process in order to stimulate business immigration in those regions, which are primarily in need of raising additional funds.
The essence of the change boils down to, which dramatically reduces the number of permanent visas for business and is now on the path to permanent residency for most applicants will have to go through a two-stage process, first applying for a temporary business visa with a 4-year probation period, and only after their business in Australia will enter the required parameters - for a permanent visa. In addition, canceled the current system of scoring is used when making a decision on granting permanent business visa. Under the new rules no scoring will not be. The main thing - to strictly comply with the established visa regulations, and to confirm his statement with relevant documents, including business plan drawn up correctly.
It is necessary to elaborate on the visa 132 Business Talent, as she is the only business visa, directly leading to permanent residency in Australia for those who choose to apply under this category after February 28, 2003, and accordingly the requirements of this visa applicants will be the highest.
For the business of "high caliber" introduces a new permanent business visa subclass 132 Business Talent, immediately giving the applicant the right to permanent residence with all the attendant rights, including the right to work outside their own business, both for the principal applicant, and for the members of his family, immigrating with him. Application for this visa can be made both in Australia and abroad.
One of the main purposes of this visa is not simply to attract foreign investment per se, but encourage people with experience of successful business to business activities in Australia. Therefore, to assess the qualifications of candidates used the term "core business". This is a business-oriented production of goods and / or services in the management of which he was directly involved, provided that the share of his personal property in this venture together with a share of the spouse is at least 10%. In other words, for the aforementioned visa pivotal role played by the presence of the candidate experience in the capital increase through the skilful management of "core business".
In addition, the applicant must prove that he has the potential financial incentives for business development in Australia. For this estimated personal assets of the applicant and his wife (a) (movable and immovable property, shares, bonds, personal bank accounts, jewelry, antiques, etc.) In this age of the applicant should not exceed 55 years.
In addition, prior to filing an immigration application the applicant will need to seek sponsorship from one Australian state or territory. However, unlike the temporary business visa, requiring sponsorship, visa holders 132 Business Talent have the right to live and conduct their business in any state (territory) of Australia, regardless of which one has provided sponsorship. The visa holder has the right to choose the scope of application of the forces and capital in Australia. It can open your own business or join an already existing business. Moreover, neither the principal applicant or their family members who have received visas are not required to work in the business, which was submitted to the Government of the State or Territory to obtain sponsorship.
However, as always, having broad rights imply responsibilities and availability. One of these responsibilities to the holders of 132 Business Talent Visa will provide data on their business activities in the Immigration Department within 3 years from the date of the visa, or first arrival in Australia on this visa, depending on whether a visa is obtained in this Australia or abroad. This is done to verify the validity of the principal applicant's intentions to develop business in Australia. If within that period the visa holder does not commence any particular business activity in Australia, his visa may be revoked. Thus far in the law there is no indication as to which specific indicators of the business must meet and how to evaluate it.
Immediately prior to obtaining a visa, that is when their immigration application is approved by the medical board and successfully passed, the principal applicant and his family members over 18 who immigrate to it, must show that they have minimal knowledge of English, that is to provide the results of passing the test IELTS (International English Language Testing System). If the results are not available to date, you will need to pay the cost of learning English, they will have to go after arrival in Australia of $ 2770 USD for the principal applicant and 1380 USD for each family member over 18 years of age included in the immigration application .
Those who have successfully passed all the stages described above, provided the long-awaited visa, which can be affixed to a valid passport, both in Australia and in overseas missions of the Department of Immigration, depending on what the immigration status of a claimant at the time of obtaining a visa.
This innovation should seriously consider to reduce the time of immigration applications in this category, since it allows a unified approach to the evaluation process, replacing one of the new permanent visa ten currently operating.
Here are the main criteria that must meet to obtain a visa 132 Business Talent.
If we talk about permanent residency, then, as we have said, the process of obtaining permanent residence status will take place in two stages:
1. First, you need to obtain a temporary business visa by submitting an application and necessary documents for review by one of the following subclasses: 160 Provisional Business Owner, 161 Provisional Senior Executive, 162 Provisional Investor, or 163 State / Territory Sponsored Provisional Business Owner, 164 State / Territory Sponsored Provisional Senior Executive, 165 State / Territory Sponsored Provisional Investor;
2. Then, coming on indicators that meet the requirements of the selected category of permanent visa, submit a new application directly to the Immigration Department for one of the following permanent business visas: 890 Permanent Business Owner, 891 Permanent Investor, 892 Permanent State / Territory Sponsored Business Owner, 893 or Permanent State / Territory Sponsored Investor.
In fact, introduced a two-step process is not something entirely new. Overall, it looks like acting earlier, when on the road to a permanent residency visa holders 457 (Independent Executive) applied for a visa on 845 (Established Business in Australia).
Immediately, we note that in deciding whether to grant a permanent business visa are taken into account indicators of the applicant's business in Australia, but not outside it, as was the case in obtaining a temporary business visa. This is due to the fact that when you apply for a temporary visa estimated capacity of the applicant, who can become the foundation of its business activities in Australia, while continuing to receive visas must prove that this potential is realized at the required level.
However, the general requirements as for temporary and permanent visas for now appear to be more flexible, especially if the applicant has received a sponsorship of any state or territory and agree to develop their business in this state. A serious problem for businesses that have not received sponsorship can be in English. One of the key requirements for all applicants of business visa without sponsorship (160, 161, 162) is an English language proficiency at the secondary level - Vocational English.
If you are an entrepreneur with experience, with the habits of a certain standard of living, convinced that by working for someone else, you will not be rich, right does not believe in propaganda that you can make a fortune on a long and exhausting savings, your way - a business, or at least , a small biznesok. But what kind of business? How to buy? How to maintain it and grow?
You do not need to possess great intelligence, and even small, that would be unwise to make happy buying the seller's broker, land-lord and the state, ie all except myself. To get the deal after a happy and remain so for many years, except, of course, good luck, it is recommended to have a minimum knowledge and skills in self-assessment of business and bring in specialists from the Consultation.
In search of business on the soul you will certainly want to use the services of business brokers. Most of them are honest and educated people, behind which the practice of running your own business, and plenty of practice in purchasing, selling and valuing a business. These guys have a lot to learn, and they can help a novice understand their desires and abilities. But, nevertheless, do not forget, the broker - it's a seller's agent and the seller pays the broker is 5-7 and more percent of the price you sold the business. And no matter how clear you did not seem his eyes and his heartfelt speech, he can not resist the temptation to "push" you some business. It's his job.
Forms of doing business can be very different - from full personal ownership of the company to various forms of joint ownership. Buy or establish a business can have on arrival in Australia, having the appropriate marketing research and assessing the situation on the market. It is necessary that, first of all, your business is needed in Australia. Well, if it will help create new jobs, accompanied by the import of new advanced technologies, to facilitate the export of goods from Australia. You can open a design office, a company for the development of computer software, vehicle, restaurant, hotel, store, or an ostrich farm. Preference is given to environmentally friendly high-tech industries and those industries whose products are well exported. Currently, the most promising in terms of business are the areas of the Australian economy as construction and real estate, wool production, diamond and cosmetic industries. One of the largest local industries - agriculture - is one of the most important in Australia. Therefore, any goods and services that enable local farmers to successfully sell, go "Hurrah" and will help you quickly solve the immigration problem.
Second, potential business immigrants must have a legally (very important) and earnings tax-free money, experience of business, an excellent business reputation.
We must also remember that the immigrants passing through the categories of business people check for criminal records. However, the purpose of this test - to weed out "sharks" of the underworld, so that a conviction for something that is not a serious crime in Australia, does not necessarily turn against you.
Well, getting a residence permit for one of the above described programs to achieve citizenship is simple. You have complete freedom to leave Australia and enter back as needed. After spending two years in the country (not necessarily continuous: they can accumulate over the past five years, one year for the past two years), you are entitled to apply for citizenship. In this case you should receive a small interview and some other formalities (for example, it is necessary to provide a positive response and demonstrate a basic knowledge of English).
