For over 30 years, we have connected motivated overseas investors with quality Australian businesses — helping Baby Boomers achieve a confident, rewarding exit while guiding international buyers through every step of Australia's migration framework.
Australia's business migration framework has undergone significant changes since mid-2024. Here is an accurate, up-to-date summary of the pathways available to overseas investors seeking to buy and operate a business in Australia.
Subclass 858 — Effective December 2024
The primary replacement for both the Subclass 188 BIIP and the former Global Talent Visa. This merit-based, invitation-only visa grants permanent residency from day one — no points test, no passive investment threshold required.
Subclass 888 — Open to Eligible 188 Holders
Existing Subclass 188 holders who have met their business conditions can still transition to this permanent visa. This remains a fully viable and important pathway for current provisional visa holders.
Subclass 188 — No New Applications Accepted
This visa permanently closed to new applications on 31 July 2024, following a government review that found overall economic outcomes were below expectations. Applications lodged before the closure date continue to be processed.
