Entrepreneur Visa - Subclass 188 E

This visa is for people who wish to establish a venture in Australia which a State or Territory Government believes would provide an “exceptional economic benefit” to their state or territory. It must be a “complying entrepreneur activity” and relate to an innovative idea. This activity will lead to the commercialisation of a product or service in Australia.

Applicants are required to have a funding agreement with an approved funding agency. Such an agency includes the Australian or a State or Territory Government. This agency provides at least AUD200,000 to carry out that entrepreneurial activity and a business plan for their entrepreneurial activity. The venture must also have an ownership interest of at least 30%. Also, this activity must not relate to residential real estate, labour-hire, or the purchase of an existing enterprise or a franchise in Australia. You must be under 55 years of age and have competent English skills.

This visa also provides for transition to full permanent residence after four years, by way of visa subclass 888.

Our Service

Dyson and Associates can assist you in assessing your eligibility for this visa and guiding you on your path to full permanent residence. We do have hands-on experience in the establishment and management of “entrepreneurial business activities” and are well placed to support you in becoming established in an appropriate venture in Australia.

Note: There have been very few applications for this visa to date. One of the reasons for this low level of interest would appear to be a lack of understanding and guidance throughout the process. Our experience and current involvement in an “entrepreneurial business” makes us an ideal advisor for your proposed activity. We would be pleased to assist you in such a proposal.

If you do have an interest in this visa, or would like more information, please register your interest below, and we will get back to you.
