The Business Innovation and Investment Visa is an Australian immigration program that aims to attract foreign investors and entrepreneurs who wish to engage in entrepreneurship and innovation in Australia. This visa has become an attractive option for those looking to expand their business and take advantage of new opportunities in one of the world’s fastest growing economies, while also providing opportunities for individuals and their families to settle in Australia.
When you have this program, investors can engage in a wide range of business activities, including owning and operating a company in Australia. With outstanding business potential and opportunities, the investor-business visa is an option worth considering for those who aspire to expand their business reach and take advantage of the country’s thriving business environment.
The Investment – Business visa consists of 2 stages: Stage 1 is a temporary visa (subclass 188) -> Stage 2 is a permanent visa (subclass 888).
| Business Innovation stream | Investor stream | Significant Investor stream |
| TEMPORARY | 188A | 188B | 188C |
| PERMANENT | 888A | 888B | 888C |
Visa 188A, 188B and 188C are of subclasses of Business Innovation and Investment visas in Australia, aiming to attract international investors and entrepreneurs to come and engage in business activities in this country. Each subclass of visa has its own characteristics, tailored to the needs and business goals of each person:

- Under 188B, the investor does not need to operate any business in Australia.
