Procedures for Australia Residence by Investment via The National Innovation Visa Program

Exceptionally talented individuals can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the Australian Department of Home Affairs, which then invites a select number of this group to apply for a National Innovation Visa.

The Australian government processes EOIs and NIV applications based on four priority levels:

Priority 1: Recipients of top international awards

Priority 2: Applicants nominated by a relevant government agency with a supporting business case

Priority 3: Applicants demonstrating exceptional achievements in Tier 1 sectors:
– Critical Technologies
– Health
– Renewable and Low
– Emission Technologies

Priority 4: Applicants demonstrating exceptional achievements in Tier 2 sectors:
– Agri-Food and AgTech
– Defence Capabilities and Space
– Education
– Financial Services and
– FinTech
– Infrastructure and
– Transport

Resources
Although these sectors reflect the industry priorities for the NIV, exceptional talent in other areas such as entrepreneurship, investment, athletics, and the creative arts may also be eligible if nominated by a State, Territory, or Federal Government agency.

Australian Citizenship

A child born in Australia to an Australian permanent resident or citizen parent will automatically be entitled to Australian citizenship. A child born outside of Australia to an Australian citizen parent will also automatically be entitled to Australian citizenship.

After four years of lawful residence in Australia, with at least the last 12 months of that period spent as an Australian permanent resident, it is possible to apply for Australian citizenship. There is a citizenship appointment and test that must be attended and passed, as well as a pledge that must be made, before citizenship will be granted.

It is compulsory for adult Australian citizens to vote in federal, state, and local government elections, and failure to do so may result in financial penalties. It is also a requirement for Australian citizens to exit and enter Australia using their Australian passport. Australia allows dual citizenship.
