The current Business Migration Program aims to attract business people with a proven track record of success, business skills and required capital for settlement in Australia. There are a number of visa classes associated with the business skills category. These range from business owners, investors and senior executives of large companies. Visas can be granted for permanent residence or temporary residence.

Obtaining immediate permanent migration currently applies only to overseas applicant clients with exceptional business skills. Where permanent visa requirements are not met, applicants will initially need to apply for a provisional (temporary) business skills four-year visa under the new two-stage business skills migration scheme, and after providing satisfactory evidence of a specified level of business activity in Australia, may apply for a permanent business skills visa.
