Bradders99 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hey, Me and my fiancé are currently in our first year of a 4 year 457 visa. We both work in the hospitality industry and are interested in buying a restaurant. What is the best way to do this regarding our visa? Should we apply for a different visa? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Whoever isn't the main 457 visa holder should have no problem with it, but the sponsored person wouldn't be able to work there while still sponsored by another company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders99 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Ah OK. The problem is we obviously both want to invest in a business. Would it be possible to apply for a different visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 There is a way of buying a business and sponsoring yourself. It is nowhere near easy and I wouldn't attempt it without a very good agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders99 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 is it possible to change to different visa, or apply for PR before our 4 years has ended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 If you qualify of course it is. You would probably benefit from a chat to someone like Go Matilda to see what visa options you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
