    Changes to the Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP)

    The Australian Government has announced the removal of the entire Business Innovation and Investment Visa Program (BIIP).
    The government is planning to redesign the program to focus on applicants who can make specific and substantial contributions to Australia.

    I Want to Start a Business or Invest in Australia

    There are four visa streams under the Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP - subclass 188).

    Frequently asked questions

    • Resident Return visa – what are my options?

      You are required to apply for an RRV (Resident Return visa) if your permanent visa is about to expire and you intend to depart Australia.

       

      If you’ve been living in Australia for at least two years (this can be accumulative) in the last five years prior to lodging your visa, you will be granted a new five-year block of time so you can continue with your permanent residence visa.

      If you have been living in Australia for less than two years in the last five years prior to the date of your RRV application, you may be eligible for a one-year RRV. To be eligible, you would need to present evidence of your ties to Australia, such as employment, family or business commitments.

      If you live in Australia and your permanent residence visa expires, your status will automatically carry over – meaning you will continue to have permanent resident visa status. If you then wish to travel outside Australia, you will need to apply for a RRV, which will enable you to return using your current visa.

    • Where can I see my current visa status?

      As a visa holder, you can use VEVO to check your current visa details and conditions.

    Client Story

    JOHN & KATZ

    Katz and John applied for an Employer Nominated Sponsorship Visa and successfully got their Permanent Residency in 2007. The couple is settled in Melbourne, Australia.

    We moved to Australia with only suitcases (and sentimental items), and have virtually bought everything from scratch including our large detached townhouse, two cars and all our media/furnishings.

    While in Adelaide and Melbourne we had attended two immigration agents to gauge the complications and expense of the next step of settling in Australia. However, on a personal recommendation from one of Katz’s colleagues we visited Mr Ian Singer in Sydney.
