Significant Investor Visa and Investor Visa
The Australian Government’s Significant Investor Visa (SIV) and Investor Visa (IV) are streams within the Australian Government’s Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) (Subclass 188) visa and the Business Innovation and Investment (Permanent) (Subclass 888) visa which enables a high net worth individual the ability to migrate to Australia and secure permanent residency. Provisional SIV holders invited to apply for this visa after 1 July 2021 are required to invest $5 million (AUD) into complying significant investments for the duration of the provisional visa. Provisional SIV holders may be eligible to apply for a permanent visa after holding the visa for at least three years or through the Significant Investor Visa Extension stream and also after having satisfied the other requirements.
Provisional IV holders invited to apply after 1 July 2021 are required to invest $2.5 million (AUD) into complying significant investments for the duration of the provisional visa. Provisional IV holders may be eligible to apply for a permanent visa after holding the visa for at least three years and satisfying the other requirements.
