ABOUT THE SIV INVESTMENT VISA PROGRAM

Australia’s Significant Investor Visa (SIV) Program is a Federal Government initiative that commenced in 2012 to attract high net worth individuals from other countries seeking permanent residency in Australia.

Classed by the Australian Government as a Business Innovation and Investment Visa, it is aimed at attracting applicants with:

  • business and entrepreneurial skills, and
  • capital to invest into innovative Australian businesses and the commercialisation of Australian ideas, research and development.

Today, SIV is recognised as world leading investment visa program, providing a pathway to permanent residency in Australia after 4 years, while ensuring a balance between investment migration and economic benefit to the Australian economy.

SIV Applicant Eligibility & Requirements

Australia’s Immigration visas are administered by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, which provides information and advice about making an application for a Significant Investor Visa (SIV).
