Business Visa Services in Sydney
Australia’s business migration landscape has changed significantly. The Business Innovation and Investment Program has closed to new applicants, and the National Innovation Visa is now the main permanent pathway for exceptional entrepreneurs, investors and innovators. At the same time, existing business visa holders must still meet the requirements of their streams, and employers continue to rely on sponsorship to bring in key personnel.
FTS Visa Services provides business visa services in Sydney for business owners, investors, senior executives and companies expanding into Australia. Our MARA-registered team, based in Parramatta, supports clients across Greater Sydney, Newcastle and Melbourne with clear, current advice.
Business and Investor Visa Pathways We Assist With
National Innovation Visa (Subclass 858)
A permanent visa for individuals with an internationally recognised record of exceptional achievement, including entrepreneurs, investors, researchers and business leaders. The process is invitation-based and starts with an Expression of Interest. Applicants must also be supported by an eligible nominator with a national reputation in the same field. We help you assess eligibility, present your achievements and prepare persuasive supporting evidence.
Business Innovation and Investment (Permanent) Visa (Subclass 888)
For current holders of the provisional Subclass 188 visa who have met the requirements of their stream. We review your business activity, investment records and residence history to confirm readiness before you apply.
Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 188)
Although this visa is closed to new applicants, existing holders still need to manage their obligations carefully. We provide compliance advice and help you plan your transition to permanent residence.
Business Visitor Visa (Subclass 600)
Suitable for short visits to attend meetings, conferences, negotiations or explore business opportunities. This visa does not permit you to work or sell goods and services directly to the public.
Employer Sponsorship for Businesses
Companies establishing or growing operations often need to transfer key staff or hire overseas specialists. We assist with Standard Business Sponsorship and nominations under the Skills in Demand (Subclass 482), Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186) and Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Subclass 494) visas. Learn more through our employee visa services.

FAQ
What do business visa services in Sydney include?
They cover eligibility assessments, pathway planning, evidence preparation, lodgement and ongoing compliance advice for business migrants and sponsoring employers.
Can I still apply for the Subclass 188 visa?
No. It has closed to new applicants. Depending on your profile, the National Innovation Visa or an employer-sponsored pathway may be a suitable alternative.
Can a business visa lead to permanent residency?
Yes. The National Innovation Visa is permanent, and eligible Subclass 188 holders can apply for the Subclass 888 visa.
Can I work on a Business Visitor visa?
No. It allows business activities such as meetings and negotiations, but not paid work.
Do I need a migration agent?
It isn’t mandatory, but business visas involve complex evidence. The experienced team at FTS Visa Services can guide you through each step, although no agent can guarantee approval. Our business visa services in Sydney are designed to give your application the strongest possible foundation.
