State Sponsorship for Business Migration to
Australia is a process whereby an Australian State or Territory
government business agency wishing to encourage a particular
business or business person to Australia can sponsor the visa
applicant. By obtaining sponsorship, the visa applicant gains
a number of concessions which make it a great deal easier
for the applicant to qualify for and be granted the relevant
business visa.
State Sponsorship is available in the Business
Owner, Senior Executive and Investor categories and is mandatory
in the Business Talent and Regional Established Business in
Australia categories. State and Territory governments have
their own criteria for deciding whom they will sponsor.
A common feature of the process of being granted
sponsorship is the requirement to provide an appropriate business
plan or business proposal demonstrating the feasibility of
the proposed business, its economic contribution to the State
and the applicant's knowledge of the industry, the legal and
regulatory framework and other commercially relevant issues.
In certain cases submissions may need to be made to cover
difficult or exceptional circumstances or unusual aspects
of the proposal.
