According to some sources, even investment immigrants who have brought economic benefits to Australia and increased local employment opportunities will carry out a series of reforms and adjustments!
Among the many investment immigrants, 132 has the highest gold content, because it is the only Australian investment immigrant who can first emigrate and then invest. The United States, Canada and other popular countries with investment immigrants, take the first investment and then take the status of the way. Australia 132 is the only investment in the immigration market "first green card and then invest" project. The applicant chooses the investment project independently, and highly controls the investment project. As a result, it is also considered to be the safest and most reliable investment migration program in the world.132 applicants receive permanent residence in Australia and immediately begin to enjoy social benefits such as free health care, public education and so on. At the same time, 132 there are no strict residence requirements, applicants can still choose to live and work in China after obtaining Australian status.
In 2001, China's first 132 applicants submitted applications, and found a channel for import and export trade, completed follow-up investment.
From 2004 to 2005, a large number of 132 applicants faced investment options, most of whom chose to settle in Australia to run their own business. IHS advised them to make investments in projects related to their industry and less vulnerable to economic volatility, so another group of people set up import and export, retail and wholesale businesses in Australia.
By 2007, the demand for immigrants had shifted from "emigration" to "non-emigration." According to their needs, immigration agencies choose investment projects in Australia, but can prove to the Immigration Board that they can still participate in projects in China. Investment in Australian wineries, estates and supermarkets is the main choice for applicants at this stage.
Since 2009, as the Australian real estate industry continues to heat up, Australian real estate development has become a hot spot, real estate projects in line with the investment habits of Chinese investors, but also allow applicants to safely complete the investment.
Today, in addition to these well-known projects, many applicants have invested in education, new energy, biomedicine and so on.

Investment immigration is for small and medium-sized enterprises, has a certain economic strength, business background is relatively young personnel. In essence, it differs greatly from 132 in that it invests first and then emigrates, and the amount of investment varies according to visa requirements.
The 188A visa is the lowest capital threshold of several 188 investment immigration channels, requiring only a minimum of eight hundred thousand Australian dollars in net assets, suitable for shareholders of enterprises under 55 years of age, has requirements for company performance, EOI score, and must also meet the 2-year-old entrepreneurial requirements for conversion to permanent residence. And in 2 years of start-up period accumulated to live for 2 years.
The 188B visa, suitable for investment managers under 55, requires a net worth of not less than 2.25 million Australian dollars, a EOI score of no less than 65, and a four-year temporary visa that must maintain an investment of 1.5 million Australian dollars and live for a cumulative period of two years.
The 188C is suitable for major investors, no-age, scoring requirements, higher requirements for assets-net assets no less than 5 million Australian dollars, four-year temporary visa period, must maintain an investment of 5 million Australian dollars, and a cumulative period of 160 days.
The 188D is for high net worth investors, so it will be easier in terms of application conditions and processing cycles. Applicants need to invest 15 million in Australia and invest for a full year.
1818E is the Australian Department of Immigration on September 10, 2016, two hundred thousand new third-party investment in entrepreneurial investment immigrants. Applicants with at least four IELTS 6 English scores, a third-party venture capital fund of two hundred thousand, with at least 30% shareholding, have some limitations on the project.
However, recently, the Australian Immigration Department released a document entitled "Review of Australian Business Investment and Outstanding Talent Visa", which clearly states that the Australian Government is reviewing and evaluating the visa policy for the business, investment and talent categories. The threshold for Australian investment immigrants may be raised again!
Several points need to be discussed, including age limit, English proficiency, government nomination, scoring system and venture capital ratio. The key points of Australia's investment migration are as follows:
1. Whether it is necessary to set age requirements for Australian commercial investment immigrants;
2. Whether the applicant should be required to have the ability to speak English;
3. (B) the impact of nominations and guarantees from state and territorial governments on the selection of suitable candidates;
3. Whether the existing scoring criteria for selecting innovative talents is effective;
4. Of the 188C visa requirements for major Australian investment immigrants, at least A $ five hundred thousand is allocated to venture capital and private equity funds, to start-ups or small private companies, and whether the ratio will rise to A $1 million.
It seems that investment immigration reform is only a matter of time, if still hesitant applicants to speed up the pace of application, missed the opportunity to regret it!
