If you’re looking at the SBO Pathway, it’s important to understand that there are two different options available—and the requirements are not the same.

For the startup business option, you do NOT need to employ an Australia citizen, permanent resident, or New Zealand citizen working 20 hours per week.

However, if you are going through the purchase business option, you DO need to show that you have employed an Australia citizen, PR, or New Zealand citizen working at least 20 hours per week by the time of nomination.

This difference is crucial when planning your business setup and nomination strategy, as it can directly impact your eligibility under the pathway.

The SBO 491 pathway in Queensland doesn’t have a fixed “set investment” requirement under the start-up streams, but if you’re looking at purchasing an existing business, the purchase price is generally expected to be over $100,000.

Beyond the investment, there are important conditions you must meet. You need to be actively running the business profitably for at least 6 months. By the time you lodge your nomination, you must also show that you’ve hired at least one Australian citizen, Australian PR, or New Zealand citizen working a minimum of 20 hours per week.

The visa also requires you to operate the business in the nominated location for at least 2 years.

If you're unsure whether you meet the criteria, it’s best to get proper guidance before proceeding.

A common mistake in the SBO 491 pathway is assuming you can still qualify after purchasing or starting a business at any time.

From 19 September 2025 onwards, applicants who purchase or start a business after this date are not eligible to apply under the SBO stream.

It’s also important to carefully check when you need to lodge your ROI and ensure all eligibility requirements are met before submitting your application. Many applicants miss out simply because their timing or documentation does not align with the criteria.

If you already purchased or started a business before the cut-off date, it’s strongly recommended to get your case assessed to confirm whether your business meets the requirements and whether you can proceed with your EOI and ROI under the SBO stream.

Did you know that under the Far North Queensland DAMA, you don't necessarily need to hold a 482 visa before applying for a 186 visa?

One of the unique features of the FNQ DAMA is that eligible applicants who have worked in their nominated occupation in Far North Queensland for at least two years may be able to transition to a 186 visa through the DAMA pathway.

This can apply even if you're currently holding a Working Holiday Visa, a 485 Temporary Graduate Visa, or another visa with full work rights.

Understanding the right pathway can make a big difference to your migration journey. Watch the video to learn more about how the FNQ DAMA pathway works.

🌏 Keeping it lowkey? Not for your Partner Visa!

Many couples love their privacy, but when it comes to the Australian Department of Home Affairs, "private" can look like "not genuine." If you’re applying for a Partner Visa, you need to be prepared to step into the spotlight!

To secure that grant, you must demonstrate the social aspect of your relationship. This means:
Joint Documentation: Shared leases, bank accounts, or utilities.
Social Evidence: Photos with friends and family at events or gatherings.
Recognition: Proving that the people in your life know and support your relationship.

Don’t let a lack of evidence stand between you and your future in Australia. 🇦🇺

Thinking of investing in an existing business in New Zealand? There are strict requirements you need to meet before you even start your search.

To be eligible, the business must have been operating for a minimum of 5 years and must already have at least 5 full-time employees. If it doesn’t meet these conditions, it is not considered eligible for purchase under the pathway discussed.

There are also certain business types that are excluded, and this is where proper due diligence becomes critical. Before making any decision, it’s important to review the business carefully, seek financial and legal advice, and consult a qualified New Zealand immigration advisor to assess eligibility.

The transcript also highlights an NZ$1,000,000 investment requirement in relation to this pathway, making it essential to understand all conditions before proceeding.
