RobDavies Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hi Everyone, I thought this may be the best place to bring my query, curious to see if anyone may be able to help? I currently hold a WHV 417, however I have just received funding from a UK entity which will enable me to submit a EOI to apply for the business innovation visa 188. The 188 visa allows 4 years in the country to start a business which is what my final intentions would be. I would've considered getting my 2nd year visa however I am not in a position where I can afford to lose 3 months doing agriculture work as my time is mainly invested in business start up.Would anyone possibly know if I am able to apply for visa 188 on a WVH in Australia? Also if anyone had any more knowledge about visa 188 itself?Any kind of info at this stage would be great, thanks everyone!Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi Rob, I haven't seen too many posts about 188 visas so they don't seem to be as common as other subclasses. Perhaps arrange a consultation with a migration agent to get some general guidance to get yourself start in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneandMolly Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 HI Rob Did you manage to find any information on visa 188? I'm trying to find out how much it costs to get the visa actioned by an agent? Thanks Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
