As of July 2024, Australia officially has no pathways for new applicants based upon business ownership or investments.  

For specific cases there may be alternative pathways available. For example an overseas business can sponsor an employee to Australia, which can include senior management roles including where the employee has ownership interest in the company. 

Applicants with investment experience, particular angel investments linked to innovative businesses may also have opportunities under the National Innovation Visa. 

New Zealand continues to provide investment migration under the Active Investor Plus. Applicants who later proceed to obtain NZ citizenship are entitled to also live and work in Australia.
