Do you have any other options for immigration`s drastic abolition of the 457 work visa?
Last year, the Immigration Board closed IELTS-free employer-sponsored visa applications within two weeks. In order to catch the last IELTS-free bus, thousands of applicants for 186 and 187 visas hurriedly submitted applications at the last minute, most of which were rejected because of inadequate preparation.
In contrast, clients who listened to our advice chose to apply for a business visa 188; these customers now receive or are about to get a first-stage temporary residence visa for a business visa.
In Australia, applicants have to learn to keep up with trends-the USCIS policy is like Australia`s government stimulus package, with a purpose. Instead of being led by an immigration agent to apply for a visa that is easy for the agency, the applicant needs to find the best option for his or her situation.
In March 2017, the Immigration Service aggressively abolished 457 work visas and made a huge overhaul of the job nomination list. Both moves are a clear signal: immigration is now tightening employer guarantees. Now applicants are spending a lot of money and energy preparing for employer-sponsored immigration is a hassle.
Australia`s government knows that Australia`s good climate and sound laws will attract more immigrants. Now, it is not easy to emigrate simply with money or skills; business immigration is the general trend, and immigration is the preferred form of immigration. The business immigration requirements are not complicated: as long as the applicant has run a successful business, he is willing to start a new business in Australia and prove that he has successful business experience.
Knowing that business migration is the general trend, let`s look at the four branches of business migration-the simplest, the most affordable, and the quickest-is the 188a business innovation branch.
The 188a Business Innovation Branch requires applicants with past experience in business and plans to start a new business in Australia. Applicants are required to meet the following six requirements:
In the past four economic years, business turnover has exceeded five hundred thousand Australian dollars;
Net worth of individuals and businesses exceeds eight hundred thousand Australian dollars;
Under 55 (except that the non-state government waives the age requirement because of the particular financial contribution of the applicant)
Past business experience has generally been successful;
There is a real intention to continue doing business in Australia
Have full control of the business:
If the business turnover is less than four hundred thousand Australian dollars, then the applicant must control more than 51%; if the business turnover exceeds four hundred thousand Australian dollars, then the applicant must hold more than 30%; If the business is a boss company, the applicant must control more than 10%.
Again, these are the simplest and most affordable types of business visas; this is a reliable way for applicants and their families to emigrate.
