457 Self Sponsorship Visa

[quake]

Hi, I've been looking at my options on migrating from South Africa to Aus, I've been told that it is possible to buy a business and self sponsor (4 years temp visa instead of 2)..

Does anybody know if this is true, and could maybe offer some more advice on this please?

 

Thanks

Self-sponsorship is legally possible, but is practically extemely difficult and is most likely to result in a refusal. If you are able to buy a business, you might be well advised to consult a registered migration agent for advice about developing a visa strategy.

A 457 is generally for 4 years, not 2 anyway

Hi Wrussle

I actually qualify for a 188 innovations visa, but.. It can take two years, I'm anxious to leave.. Hence looking at all possible options, timing being of high importance..

I currently reside in South Africa and the current political climate has me seriously worried about the safety of my kids..

Could you possibly point me to somebody that I could possibly consult on this.. I would really appreciate it..

Thanks again..

Hi @quake

Subclass 188 visas under the Business Innovation stream tend to take about 6 months from the time the visa application is lodged.

Add the time to prepare the application paperwork, and to secure State Sponsorship => about 9 to 12 months is a more probable timeline.
