Navigating Australian Visas: Your Business Plan Blueprint

Business Innovation and Investment Visas (subclass 188 and subclass 888)

The Business Innovation and Investment (subclass 188 and subclass 888) visas are for individuals who want to own and manage a business or make a significant investment in Australia. A detailed business plan is typically required as part of the application process, as it demonstrates your commitment, financial viability, and the potential benefit your business or investment will bring to Australia.

The business plan should be based on your individual skills, experience, and potential business opportunity, and it should show how you will actively participate in the management and decision-making of the business. It is essential to analyze the business environment, provide evidence of market research, and outline details of the business location, type, structure, and financials, among other criteria.

 

The Business Talent Visa (subclass 132)

The Business Talent visa (subclass 132) offers two streams: Significant Business History and Venture Capital Entrepreneurs. Both streams may require a business plan as part of the application process.

  1. Significant Business History:For the Significant Business History stream, a well-structured business plan is usually necessary to showcase the viability and potential success of your entrepreneurial venture.
  2. Venture Capital Entrepreneurs:For the Venture Capital Entrepreneurs stream, while the specific requirement for a business plan is not explicitly mentioned, it is generally advisable to include one to demonstrate your investment and commercial plans.

 

The Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (subclass 482)

The Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482), also known as the TSS visa, is a temporary work visa introduced in March 2018 to replace the Temporary Work (skilled) subclass 457 visa in Australia. The TSS visa is designed to address labor shortages by allowing Australian employers to hire skilled foreign workers when they cannot find appropriately skilled Australian workers for the position.

A detailed business plan is typically required as part of the nomination application when the sponsoring employer wants to become an approved Standard Business Sponsor under this stream.

 

Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 489 has been replaced by subclass 491)

The Subclass 489 visa has been closed to new applications since November 2019, and it has been replaced by the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) - Subclass 491 Visa.

The Subclass 491 visa allows highly skilled workers with their families to live and work in designated areas of Australia for up to 5 years.

This visa has three forms of application:

  1. Invited pathway for new applicants,
  2. Extended stay pathway for workers who already held certain eligible visas, and
  3. Subsequent entry pathway for relatives of workers who hold eligible visas

Typically, the application for the Subclass 489 visa focuses on the applicant's skills, qualifications, work experience, and the nomination or sponsorship requirements. A business plan is not a standard requirement for this visa type unless there are specific business-related circumstances that need to be addressed in the application.

However, it's important to note that, as part of the application process for the Tasmania Small Business Owner Stream of the Subclass 491 visa, a comprehensive business plan is required.

 

Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) Visa

The Subclass 186 visa, also known as the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS), is a pathway to permanent residency in Australia. The Subclass 186 visa offers permanent residency to skilled workers who have been nominated by an approved Australian employer. The visa has different streams, and one of them is the Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream.

By the end of 2023, the Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream of the Subclass 186 visa will be amended. All Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Subclass 482 visa holders will be eligible for ENS visas sponsored by their employers. Sponsored visa holders will be eligible for ENS TRT after two years (down from three years) of sponsorship on a TSS visa by their employer. Applicants will need to continue to work in the occupation nominated for their TSS visa(s).

The Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) will increase from $53,900 to $70,000 on 1 July 2023. New nominations lodged on or after that date will be required to meet the new TSMIT of $70,000 or the annual market salary rate, whichever is higher.

There is no mention of a business plan being required for any of the streams under the Subclass 186 Visa unless there are specific business-related circumstances that need to be addressed in the application.

 

Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 494)

The Subclass 494 Visa, also known as the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa, is a temporary residency visa available to skilled workers in Australia. It allows skilled workers to be sponsored by an Australian employer in a designated regional area for up to five years. The visa was introduced on November 16, 2019, and replaced the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) Visa Subclass 187.

There is no mention of a business plan being required as part of the Subclass 494 Visa application unless there are specific business-related circumstances that need to be addressed in the application.

 

Immigration Policies Change Over Time

As immigration policies and requirements can change over time, it is essential for employers and prospective visa applicants to consult with a qualified immigration agent or the Department of Home Affairs website for the most up-to-date information regarding the specific visa requirements, including the need for a business plan for the specific visa.
