How much to invest in Australia to get PR?

Business immigration programs allow successful business owners, foreign investors, senior executives, and immigrant entrepreneurs to migrate to Australia in pursuit of conducting business activities there. Australia offers a range of business and investor visas to foreign nationals who want to set up a new or buy an existing business in Australia in exchange for permanent residency and excellent quality of life.

Thousands of HNWIs from India move to Australia to move their business skills beyond borders. The Australian business visa programs have multiple sub-categories, inviting investors to launch their businesses in Australia. The best part is that you can apply for permanent residency in Australia and eventually citizenship after some years.
