Australia

BIIP Investors Streams

In a nutshell, Australia has three options for those who would qualify for residency in the country through a passive investment: The Investor, Significant Investor, and Premium Investor streams, three Golden Visas that each have their own timelines and financial requirements.

Together with the Business Innovation and Entrepreneur streams (both of which are Active Investor Visas), the three Investor streams make up Australia’s Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP).
