   Initially, you must apply for a Business Skills (Provisional) visa, which will be granted for a period of four years.
   
   The Business Skills (Provisional) visa category also provides for State/Territory government sponsorship for each visa, to enable States and Territories of Australia to have more influence over the number and skill levels of business migrants they are seeking to attract.
   
   If an applicant has sponsorship from a State or Territory government and applies under the State/Territory Sponsored Business Owner, State/Territory Sponsored Senior Executive or State/Territory Sponsored Investor visas, they are considered against lower level criteria.
   
   State and Territory governments have their own criteria for deciding whom they will sponsor. To find out about sponsorship requirements contact State/Territory business development agencies.
   
   You can apply outside Australia or in Australia, but you must lodge your application at one of the three Business Skills processing centers in either Hong Kong, Taipei or Perth, depending on where you usually live.
   
   These are specialized processing centers for applications in the Business Skills visa categories. As well as processing applications, these centers are able to handle initial inquiries and progress inquiries about your case after it is lodged.
   After you have been granted a visa in the Business Skills (Provisional) category, you are expected to either establish or buy into a business in Australia or maintain a designated investment for four years.
   After you have successfully operated a business for two years or maintained your designated investment for four years, you will be eligible to apply for a permanent Business Skills (Residence) visa. You must apply for this in Australia.
   A direct permanent residence visa, that is, a migrant visa, will still be available for high-caliber business migrants sponsored by State/Territory governments. It is known as the Business Talent (Migrant) visa
