  I just want to take the time to thank the legend Ahmad Shady who went above and beyond for me. He completely took the stress out of a super complex situation and streamlined all the documentation needed so I could be more present with my newborn daughter in Texas. He quickly transitioned from my migration agent to a good friend and I’m forever grateful for his kindness and support during those tough times. 🙏

  'I want to thank Redd and Nutchaya for accepting my immigration matter and making impossible, possible. Nutchaya and Redd paid attention to the details as a result they were able to reverse the adverse decision from the Department of Home and Affairs and won the case in AAT.  The submission to AAT was very details and well written. They are very honest and told me how difficult my case was, but they tried their best to fight for me.

188B Visa Australia: Your Gateway to Success

Starting a business or expanding one into Australia is an exciting opportunity. At Longton Migration, we specialise in helping entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals navigate the complex process of securing a business visa Australia.

If you’re looking to start or expand your business, the 188B visa is a great option. Securing the right visa will allow you to take advantage of the growing opportunities in cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.

Why You Need a 188B Visa

The journey to getting a business visa in Australia can feel overwhelming. The process is detailed, with various requirements depending on the type of visa you need. Whether you’re applying for a Significant Investor Visa or a Visa 188B, understanding the specific rules and eligibility criteria is essential. We know how confusing it can be, and our goal is to take the stress out of the equation for you.

Common Challenges

Many individuals and businesses face similar hurdles when applying for a business visa in Australia. From complicated paperwork to strict deadlines, the smallest misstep can lead to costly delays or, worse, visa rejection. If you’ve ever tried to navigate immigration policies alone, you understand how frustrating it can be to figure out which visa category applies to you.

The Anxiety of Visa Delays

Worrying about whether your investment visa Australia or business visa will be approved can cause unnecessary stress, especially when you’re eager to establish or grow your business in Australia. Missing deadlines, gathering incorrect documents, or misunderstanding eligibility can lead to frustrating delays. These delays not only affect your plans but also create uncertainty about your future business ventures.

A Seamless Process with Expert Help

At Longton Migration, we provide expert, certified assistance to ensure your visa application process is as smooth as possible.

Understanding 188B Visa Australia Requirements

Meeting the business visa Australia requirements can be challenging, especially with the different types of documents and criteria involved. Here are some key requirements you may need to meet when applying for a business visa:

Business Experience: You’ll need to show evidence that you have owned or managed a business before.
Investment Funds: Depending on the visa, you may need to prove that you have a certain amount of money to invest in Australia. For example, the 188B Visa requires you to have a significant amount of capital.
Business Plan: A detailed plan showing how your business will operate in Australia and that it will succeed is necessary.
Assets: You’ll need to show that you have personal and business assets to meet the visa’s financial requirements.
Health and Character Checks: You must pass checks to ensure you meet Australia’s health and character standards.
Commitment to Business: You’ll need to prove that you intend to start or run a business in Australia and that you will actively manage it once the visa is approved.

Our team at Longton Migration can guide you through these steps, ensuring everything is completed accurately to avoid delays.
