Your Australian Visa Our Focus

In September 2021 South Australia opened for applications for the 188 Entrepreneur visa and announced it had made some changes to the eligibility criteria which make it much easier to get.  Previously this visa was limited to applicants who had already secured financial backing for their businesses but the new version is much more accessible.  For the right person with the right business proposal, the Entrepreneur visa can offer a path to Australian permanent residency.

Background

The Business Innovation and Investment Program encompasses Australia’s range of business and investment visas.  It incorporates the 188 visa and all its sub-streams, and the 888 permanent visa.  Once an applicant has completed their 5 year stay on the 188 visa, if they have fulfilled the obligations of their visa they may apply for the 888 visa which grants them permanent residency.  There are multiple streams under each visa heading but today we’re looking at the 188 Entrepreneur stream, also known as the Entrepreneur Visa - a visa for ambitious business people wanting to start an enterprise in Australia.

What are the Benefits of the 188 Entrepreneur Visa?

The Entrepreneur visa allows you and immediate members of your family to live and work in Australia.  After 3 years you can apply for permanent residency and eventually, citizenship too. 

Who Is Eligible?

To be eligible for the Entrepreneur Visa anywhere in Australia, you must meet the Federal Requirements.  The Federal Requirements for the 188 visa are that you must:

Federal Requirements

• Propose to undertake a business activity in Australia that will lead to the commercialisation of an innovative product or services in Australia
• Have at least a competent level of English
• Be nominated by a state
• Meet the health and character requirements
• Be under 55 years of age or be able to show your business will provide an exceptional economic benefit to Australia
• Sign a values statement
• Owe no debt to the Australian government, and
• Not have previously had a visa cancelled or an application refused.

In addition to these, you must comply with any additional requirements of the state you intend to live in.  The South Australian Requirements for the 188 Entrepreneur visa are that you must:

South Australian Requirements

• Intend to live in South Australia
• Propose your business be based in South Australia
• Be nominated by a Service Provider, and
• Provide a detailed proposal for your Australian business.

Who cannot Apply?

Unfortunately, holders of certain visas are deemed ineligible to apply for the South Australian Entrepreneur Visa.  You will be immediately refused if you are a holder of a:

• Student visa of any kind (including 500, 570, 571, 572, 573, 574)
• 403 Temporary Work visa, or
• 771 Transit visa.

Do I need to be in Australia to apply?

You can apply for the South Australian Entrepreneur visa from anywhere in the world! There is no need to be onshore.

Service Providers

In order to be eligible for the South Australian Entrepreneur Visa, you must be nominated by a Service Provider.  These Service Providers are a group of organisations dedicated to working with new and growing businesses. The Service Providers are:

• Stone & Chalk

• New Venture Institute (Flinders University)

• Moonshots

• Thinclab (The University of Adelaide)

• The Innovation & Collaboration Centre (UniSA)

What Types of Business does South Australia Want?

The proposed business must be likely to, in the opinion of the Australian Government, achieve the 888 Entrepreneur visa criteria within 5 years.  The criteria are divided into “Key Factors” and “Supporting Success Factors”.  You will need to demonstrate you are likely to meet either:

• 2 x Key Success Factors; or
• 1 x Key Success Factors and 3 Supporting Success Factors

Remember, you don’t need to already be fulfilling these criteria – you just have to show that you are likely to fulfil them in the next 5 years.  As far as what your business actually does, it doesn’t matter so long as it is likely to fulfil the criteria.  There are 3 prohibited categories:

1. Labour hire
2. Residential real estate
3. Purchasing an existing business,

And of course, your business idea needs to be legal and ethical.  So long as it fits the criteria and isn’t one of the prohibited categories, it could be anything from creative arts to space technology!

What about states other than South Australia?

The only other state that is accepting applications for the 188 Entrepreneur visa outside of South Australia is New South Wales (NSW) however the criteria for eligibility are higher in NSW.  In addition to meeting the Federal Requirements, the NSW Requirements are that you must:

New South Wales Requirements

• Already have funding secured for your business project;
• Funding must be secured from an approved entity (an Australian Government agency, publicly-funded research organisation, university, or an approved investor).
• Be nominated by an approved NSW Startup Program;
• Submit a detailed business proposal;
• Commit to living and working in NSW; and
• Have your business headquarters in NSW.

The difference here is that for an 188 Entrepreneur Visa in NSW, you must have already secured your funding. In South Australia, you need only show that you are likely to secure funding.

You can read more about the NSW program here.

How do I apply for the South Australian 188 Entrepreneur Visa?

The first step is to make an appointment to talk about your options with an experienced immigration lawyer or registered migration agent at Work Visa Lawyers who can go through the details of the 188 visa with you and make sure you are eligible, and that your intellectual property is protected.  If you meet the criteria, the next step is to commence discussions with one of the approved Service Providers (above) as you will need one of these groups to nominate you if you are to receive the Entrepreneur Visa.  If for any reason you do not meet the criteria, Work Visa Lawyers will assess your personal situation and advise what you need to do to qualify, or what alternative visa pathways might be available to you.

Being situated in Adelaide, South Australia, Work Visa Lawyers are uniquely positioned to help you with your South Australian Entrepreneur Visa application, and we would love to help you on your journey.

South Australian immigration has a new investment visa; The subclass 408 Temporary Activity – Supporting Innovation in South Australia stream. Also known as the South Australian Entrepreneur visa, the subclass 408 pilot program will run from 21 November 2018 to 30 November 2021. The strong focus of this visa on entrepreneurship moves migration in South Australia into a new space, as the South Australian government strives to stimulate innovation.

Who is the new South Australian Entrepreneur Visa for?

The Supporting Innovation in South Australia (SISA) - Temporary Activity (subclass 408) visa is aimed towards promising and successful overseas entrepreneurs. According to Migration SA , South Australia will be looking for migrants who are innovative, have an entrepreneurial idea or concept, or are working on an innovative early-stage business ideally with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP).

The visa will likely be more successful for many entrepreneurs than the current Entrepreneur Visa, which requires capital backing of at least $200,000. Instead of requiring this funding,, applicants’ proposals will be vetted by State or Federal Government entities, with these entities able to partner with incubators and accelerators to identify potential applicants for nomination.

What will the South Australian Entrepreneur Visa allow me to do?

Successful applicants will receive a 408 visa that will be valid until November 2021. Applicants will have until this time to establish and grow their business in South Australia. While living in South Australia during this period, visa holders will be able to apply for other visas if they wish to do so. This was confirmed by the Department of Home Affairs in their  Supporting Innovation in South Australia media release .The usual pathways to permanent residency will be available, and if the visa holder’s business operations in South Australia are running well then this will be helpful to them in any further visa applications.

How do I secure a South Australian Entrepreneur Visa?

The first step in the process is to secure an endorsement by the government of South Australia. Before applying, for government endorsement, applicants have the option of seeking support from one of the four South Australian innovation eco-system service providers. According to the Immigration SA website, priority for government endorsement will be given to applications that have secured the support of one of these providers. It is therefore strongly recommended that applicants secure the support of one of the providers before applying to Immigration SA (the relevant South Australian government body) for endorsement.

To seek support from an eco-system service provider,  email the provider briefly explaining your business concept and asking if they would be willing to accept and support your application to the government of South Australia. For information on each of the four providers, see the ‘South Australian innovation eco-system service providers’ section below.

The Immigration SA website provides detailed information on the steps an applicant must follow.

Once the endorsement of the South Australian government has been secured, an application must be lodged with the Department of Home Affairs for a 408 visa. The relevant stream for SISA applicants is the ‘Australian Government endorsed event’ stream.

What are the eligibility requirements?

The following requirements must be satisfied in order to secure an endorsement by the South Australian government.

• Commitment to SA: Maintain primary residence in SA throughout the visa period
• Be under 45 years of age
• Demonstrate at least vocational English (unless a citizen of the UK, Canada, NZ, USA, or Ireland)

Have a business concept, idea or proposal that satisfies the following:

• You have in-depth knowledge or expertise in the product or service you are targeting
• Business concept demonstrates genuine innovation, novel intellectual property, or high barriers to entry
• Commitment to developing a start-up project in SA
• Secured support of a selected service provider who has reviwed your project proposal
• The project has strong potential to create local employment and export revenue for SA
• The project will have at least 50% of its assets and 50% of staff located in SA

Proposals in the following industry sectors will receive priority:

• Defense and Space
• Cybersecurity, big data, digital and blockchain
• Food, wine, and ag. Tech
• Health and medical technology
• Robotics
• Media and film

The following business types are not eligible for endorsement:

• Cafes and restaurants
• Consulting firms and employment agencies
• Export/import businesses/companies
• Franchises
• Foot reflexology
• Massage parlours
• Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine
• Herbal dispensing businesses
• Geomancy/Fengshui business
• Retail

If you currently hold one of the following visas you will not be eligible for endorsement

• Student visas (including subclasses 500, 570, 571, 572, 573, 574)
• 403
• 771

o If you are currently on a subclass 485 visa, you must be presently engaged in a structured program offered by an identified South Australian innovation eco-system provider to be considered

Financial capacity – You must satisfy the requirements in the table below

If you satisfy the above requirements, you will be eligible for endorsement by the South Australian government. Satisfaction of these requirements is sufficient to satisfy the Department of Home Affairs requirements for the 408 visa. Therefore, if SA government endorsement is received then you will be eligible for a 408 visa.

1. Observe and participate in the schedule planned for you by the service provider if you used this pathway – all participation arrangements will be between you and the service provider;
2. Actively participate in South Australian Government planned innovation and entrepreneurial events relevant to your project/idea/proposal;
3. Participate in surveys related to SISA that may be conducted by your service provider or the South Australian Government;
4. Create a business that has the potential to become a sustainable high-growth start-up, with the future potential to employ South Australians;

6. Maintain primary residence in South Australia and contribute to the South Australian economy and community.

Immigration SA also provides a more detailed list of obligations.

408 Temporary Activity Visa processing times

According to Immigration SA, it currently takes eco-system service providers an average of 8 weeks to process applications for support. It then takes Immigration SA a further 2 weeks to process applications that have secured service provider support. Once SA government endorsement is secured, the application to the Department of Home Affairs is merely a formality. However, this may still take some further time to be processed.

The state of New South Wales (NSW) has announced its state nomination criteria for the Entrepreneur visa. This makes NSW the first state or territory to start accepting applications for nomination under the Entrepreneur visa. No other Australian state or territory has published their criteria as yet.

The NSW criteria is summarised as below:

- You will need to meet the eligibility criteria as outlined by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection

- You must submit a business plan detailing your entrepreneurial venture

- The NSW State Department must approve your business plan and be satisfied that the outlined venture will develop an enterprise or business in NSW, or commercialise a product or service in NSW

- You must have sufficient assets for settlement in NSW

You should also read up on the additional explanation provided by the NSW State Department about the complying entrepreneurial activity and acceptable funding here.

As described by the NSW State Department:

“NSW Entrepreneur visa nomination criteria continue to demonstrate our commitment to make Sydney and NSW a competitive business migration destination by making it simple and easy for potential Entrepreneur visa applicants.”

“As Australia’s capital of innovation, NSW is committed to making it easier for talented entrepreneurs to migrate and settle in Sydney and NSW.”

If you need further clarification about the NSW state nomination criteria for the Entrepreneur Visa you can arrange a meeting with the multilingual Business Migration Relationship Officers in the NSW State Department. You will be able to contact them by:

Comments by Chris Johnston – Principal Lawyer and Registered Migration Agent at Work Visa Lawyers

New South Wales has acted swiftly to attract more investment into the state. As the number one business and investment migration destination in Australia, the quick action to establish and announce the nomination criteria will further attract entrepreneurs to set up in New South Wales.

The criteria announced are very generous and do not add more difficulty above the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) requirement. The big benefit may be those who assist with writing business plans as a strong business plan is essential for a NSW nomination approval.

The remaining Australian states and territories need to launch their nomination process as soon as possible before the majority of eligible entrepreneurs head to New South Wales under the Entrepreneur visa. Otherwise they might have to introduce a looser requirement to attract entrepreneurs at a later stage.

The new Entrepreneur Visa which was first mentioned in December 2015 will be open for applications before the end of 2016, according to the announcement by the Australian Government National Innovation and Science Agenda. The legislative instrument which lists the criteria for the new Entrepreneur Visa was registered on 6^th September 2016 and contains the following information about the new visa stream:

- The Entrepreneur visa will be part of the Business Innovation and Investment visa programme

- Applicants will need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) and be nominated by a State/Territory government

- The entrepreneurial entity should not be related to residential real estate or labour hire or involve purchasing an existing business or franchise

- The applicant must have a business plan outlining activities for the venture

Applying for Australian Permanent Residency as an Entrepreneur Visa Holder

The holder of the new Entrepreneur visa will be eligible for permanent residency through the Business Innovation and Investment (Permanent) visa (subclass 888) after holding the Entrepreneur visa for four years. The visa holder will also need to:

- Reside in Australia for at least 2 of the last 4 years

- Demonstrate success in the entrepreneurial venture, with consideration to:

• the number of Australian citizens and permanent residents employed by the venture
• the level and nature of funding and investment for the venture
• the annual turnover of the venture

As the Entrepreneur visa is at its early introduction stage, we will be bringing you more updates once they are available. Follow Work Visa Lawyers on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to receive the latest news about Australia migration and visas.

UPDATE 12 September 2016

Key success factors include:

• Employing two or more Australians, permanent residents or other eligible persons
• Generating an annual turnover of at least AUD300 000
• Filing a provisional patent or acquiring a standard or innovation patent
• Receiving ongoing funding or investment in your entrepreneur activity
• Entering into a partnership with a University

Comments by Chris Johnston – Principal Lawyer and Registered Migration Agent at Work Visa Lawyers

While the visa requirements for the Entrepreneur visa look simple based on the information currently available, discussions with industry specialists have highlighted the fact that obtaining approved funding from an approved third party will not be easy and straightforward. The second stage will also require caution as the success factors to be demonstrated are not clearly defined at this moment.

Opportunities for Accountants and other potential migrants

The Entrepreneur visa may be helpful for visa applicants of other streams or categories who are facing long processing/waiting periods for their visa. A good example of this would be general skilled migration applicants who are accountants, but are sitting on less than 70 points on the points test. An innovative idea may allow the applicant to apply for the Entrepreneur visa, and obtain a visa faster than the general skilled migration visas.

More information will be provided once they are available.

Prime Minister of Australia, Malcolm Turnbull has announced new visa pathways for innovative entrepreneurs under the new National Innovation and Science Agenda. Australia has recently been ranked low among global innovation standards and this announcement seems to cater to the concerns of the lack of innovation in Australia.

According to the strategy announced, changes to the Australia migration programme will include the following:

1) Postgraduate by research graduates will receive additional points for General Skilled Migration visa applications

Many postgraduates find themselves short of points when applying for General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa as they lack work experience. With the newly announced changes, postgraduate by research graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) will receive extra points which will provide more options for permanent residency in Australia after their studies.

2) New Entrepreneur Visa will provide overseas entrepreneurs with a pathway for Australian permanent residency

This new visa category will allow overseas entrepreneurs with innovative ideas to apply for a provisional visa with a pathway to permanent residency upon fulfilling criteria such as business growth and creation of jobs. To qualify for the Entrepreneur visa you will have to:

• Gain financial backing from a third party, which will likely be assessed by the newly created Innovation and Science Australia (ISA)
• Possess an innovative and high-growth potential idea that can be implemented in Australia

The new Entrepreneur Visa is planned to be introduced in November 2016. Work Visa Lawyers will bring you more updates as it becomes available.

It is likely that the new Entrepreneur Visa will be categorised as part of the Business Innovation and Investment programme. While the new visa option will not be available until end of 2016, applicants are encouraged to consider current options such as the 188 and 132 visas that may provide a more suitable pathway to permanent residence in Australia. You can view the summary of current business visa options here.

Comments by Chris Johnston – Principal Lawyer and Registered Migration Agent at Work Visa Lawyers

While it is still some time away before the changes take place, the changes announced look to benefit aspiring migrants and international graduates who want to make Australia their home. By attracting high-calibre and innovative entrepreneurs, Australia’s innovation standards can only improve while local jobs and investment will increase.

As such some applicants may find themselves with different visa options and may not realise the most efficient pathway to Australian permanent residency. Arrange an appointment with Work Visa Lawyers and we will be able to explain your visa options to you, and advise the best way forward specific to your individual situation. Seeking professional and accurate advice before your visa application will save you costs in fees and time, and ensure a proper application is made.
