The Australian 188C Investor Visa

The Australian 188C Investor Visa is an immigration program designed for high-net-worth individuals. Applicants are required to declare assets of AUD 5 million and provide a reasonable explanation of the source of funds. In the later stages, the AUD 5 million assets need to be liquidated and invested through a fund company. Successful applicants are granted a 5-year visa, and during the visa period, the primary applicant must reside in Australia for at least 40 days per year, or the spouse must reside for at least 180 days per year. Continuous investment of AUD 5 million is required, and after 3 years, applicants can apply for permanent residency through the 888C visa. This program is suitable for high-net-worth individuals seeking a straightforward pathway to immigrate to Australia. The advantages of the 188C Investor Visa include: 1. No age limit, no points system, and no English language requirement; 2. Relatively lenient requirements for proving the source of funds; 3. Flexible residency requirements for the subsequent permanent residency application.
