What is the National Innovation Visa?

The National Innovation Visa, scheduled to launch in late 2024 or early 2025, is a new visa designed to attract highly skilled individuals, global researchers, high-performing entrepreneurs, and major investors. This visa will replace the Global Talent Visa programs, building on their success in targeting applicants who can contribute to sectors of national importance, including advanced manufacturing, energy, health, and technology.

Applicants will need to demonstrate significant potential in the fields of innovation, business, or research. The new business innovation stream will offer a direct pathway to permanent residency for individuals who can foster economic growth, create jobs, and drive Australia’s innovation agenda.

Eligibility criteria for the National Innovation Visa

To be eligible for the new National Innovation Visa program, applicants must meet a range of criteria that ensures their contribution to Australia's economic and innovation priorities. These include:

  • Exceptional talent or success: Applicants must demonstrate outstanding achievements in their field, whether in business, technology, research, or other high-priority sectors.
  • Strong connections to Australia: You must have existing ties to Australia or a proven ability to contribute to the country’s innovation landscape through established partnerships or prior collaborations.
  • Endorsement by an Australian entity: Applicants must be endorsed by an Australian organisation, government body, or a respected industry leader within their field. This endorsement should confirm the applicant's ability to create substantial economic, research, or industry benefits for Australia.
  • Sector-specific criteria: The visa is focused on sectors of national importance, such as technology, health, energy, and advanced manufacturing. Applicants must align their skills and achievements with these sectors. For instance, a technology entrepreneur might need to show a successful track record of developing groundbreaking products that align with Australia's tech priorities.

Applicants must align their skills and achievements with these sectors. For instance, a technology entrepreneur might need to show a successful track record of developing groundbreaking products that align with Australia's tech priorities.
  • Proven track record of innovation: Whether through entrepreneurial activities, research, or professional contributions, applicants must provide evidence of their previous successes and how these achievements can drive growth, job creation, and innovation in Australia.
  • Financial stability or investment capability: Some streams of the visa may require applicants to have sufficient financial backing or the ability to make significant investments into Australian ventures, particularly for those applying under the investor stream.
  • Global recognition: For applicants from research and academic backgrounds, international recognition of their work in a relevant field will be essential. This may include awards, publications, or contributions to high-profile projects.
  • Language proficiency: While not always a core criterion, strong proficiency in English is often required to ensure applicants can actively engage with Australian businesses and communities.
  • Health and character requirements: As with most Australian visas, applicants must meet the standard health and character requirements, including police checks and a medical examination.

Fulfilling these criteria will position applicants as strong candidates for the National Innovation Visa, which will allow them to offer Australia significant benefits through their expertise, innovation, and investment.

Benefits of the National Innovation Visa

The National Innovation Visa offers a range of compelling benefits for individuals looking to contribute to Australia's innovation landscape. This visa provides a direct pathway to permanent residency, allowing successful applicants to make Australia their long-term home while advancing their careers in high-priority sectors.

In addition to permanent residency, the visa supports high-achieving individuals with opportunities to work, conduct research, or start a business. Family members can also join the applicant, enhancing their quality of life with access to Australia’s healthcare and education systems.

Here are the key benefits of the National Innovation Visa:

  • Permanent residency in Australia for successful applicants
  • Opportunities to work, research, or start a business in a high-priority sector
  • Fast-tracked processing for high-achieving individuals
  • The ability to bring family members to Australia
  • Access to Australia’s world-class healthcare and education systems

You’ll need to provide the following documents to verify your identity:

  • Valid passport
  • Partida de nacimiento
  • National identification card (if applicable)
  • Recent passport-sized photographs
  • Proof of name changes (if applicable)

How the National Innovation Visa works

The National Innovation Visa offers a streamlined process designed for high-calibre applicants. First, applicants may need to submit an expression of interest (EOI) and receive an invitation to apply. Once invited, they gather the required documents, pay the visa fees, and lodge the application online.

After submission, the Department of Home Affairs carefully assesses the application, focusing on the applicant's potential to drive innovation in key industries. During this time, they may request additional information or clarifications. Successful applicants will be granted permanent residency, while those who are unsuccessful will receive a formal decision with reasons for refusal and possible avenues for review.

This visa is fast-tracked for high-achieving individuals, making it an attractive option for entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators.

Tasas departamentales:

At the time of writing (summer 2024), the Australian Government has not yet released the specific application fees for the National Innovation Visa. However, similar to other visas, it is expected that fees will vary for primary applicants, secondary applicants over 18, and secondary applicants under 18. Additionally, an extra fee may apply for applicants needing to meet English proficiency requirements.

National Innovation Visa processing times

Processing times for the National Innovation Visa can vary based on the applicant’s specific situation and the complexity of the case. Factors such as the applicant’s background, sector, and the strength of their supporting documentation may influence the time it takes for the Department of Home Affairs to process the visa. Complex applications or those requiring additional information may experience longer wait times.

However, applicants with exceptional achievements, particularly those in high-priority sectors, may benefit from expedited processing. This allows high-performing individuals to fast-track their applications, ensuring that they can begin contributing to Australia's key industries as quickly as possible.

National Innovation Visa considerations

Before applying for the National Innovation Visa, applicants must carefully consider the eligibility criteria. Success hinges on demonstrating exceptional talent, entrepreneurial success, or significant contributions to innovation in key sectors like technology, health, and business. This is a high threshold, and applicants should assess whether they meet these standards before proceeding.

The National Innovation Visa will replace the Global Talent Visa at the end of 2024, and although details are still emerging, applicants should stay informed about any potential changes that could affect their application.

Each application is thoroughly assessed by the Department of Home Affairs, and while Australian Migration Lawyers cannot guarantee approval, we can significantly increase your chances by helping you submit a strong, decision-ready application.

We make consultations convenient:

  • Most initial consultations are free, and ongoing services follow a fixed-fee structure.
