What is a State or Territory Sponsored Investor Visa (Subclass 893)?
The State or Territory Sponsored Investor Visa, Subclass 893, is a significant stream that helps provisional visa holders who have made some positive contributions toward the Australian economy through business or investment activities get permanent residency in this country. This permanent residency visa is designed for those who previously held a provisional business owner, investor, or senior executive visa and are sponsored by an Australian state or territory. This will enable them to either retain the ownership and management of a business in Australia or maintain their investment activities.
The applicant must be able to show substantial commitment to his/her business or investment in Australia, proving not only that the operations have been successful but that the Australian economy will benefit from them. We offer complete services for this visa to help applicants successfully overcome all barriers associated with the Subclass 893 Visa application process. We take care of the fact that your application meets all the strict requirements specified by the immigration authorities regarding successful business or investment activities and the continuation of substantial management roles.

What is Our Process For Business Visa Application?
The Australian business visa application procedure is complex and demands meticulous attention to detail. The steps can be navigated as follows:
Consultation and Engagement
Start by arranging a meeting with the immigration lawyer who has expertise in this field, and they will give you customized assistance. They will perform an evaluation of your case and the complexities of the process, and they will acquaint you with the process. Upon the completion of the meeting, they will promptly send you an engagement letter or an agreement detailing the terms and conditions of your legal representation, so that all parties involved have a firm grasp on the commitment.
Preparation and Support
This requires your lawyer to prepare a set of documents and to collect strong evidence that confirms your relationship. These proofs may include joint bank account statements, shared lease or mortgage documents, and personal statements from friends and family. This preparation stage is an essential element of the whole procedure, because the quality of application can provide a basis for a fair consideration.
Submission and Communication
This is the stage where you and your attorney file your application with the Australian Department of Home Affairs. They will review your paperwork and make sure it complies with all applicable laws and regulations. The lawyer will be working closely with the department and maintaining communication with you during this waiting period, which may be longer, and will give additional information.
Representation and Success
You may, for instance, be required to provide additional information or submit to an interview by the Department of Home Affairs. And if so, your lawyer will prepare you for this and represent you if the need arises. They’re the one who is there for you, and they are the ones who bring out the best in you so that they can better present you to the college. They will advise you on the outcome of the decision and would review the details to guide you on the best choice, may it be an appeal or new application.
