National Innovation Visa Program
Australia has recently renamed the Global Talent Independent Program as National Innovation Visa (NIV) Program.
With the global competition for talent ever-intensifying, Australia is working towards attracting the best and the brightest to the country, for helping grow a stronger economy.
The Australian government has dedicated talent attraction programs designed to turbocharge the Australian economy.
Exceptionally talented individuals and high-value businesses are being specifically targeted by Australia. With the individuals and businesses that come to Australia, their capital, ideals as well as networks too find inroads into the country.
The NIV Program of the Australian government creates a streamlined Australia immigration pathway for highly-skilled professionals to come to the country for working and living on a permanent basis.
Designed to help grow innovation and tech economies, the NIV Program will be creating opportunities for Australians – through the transfer of skills, promotion of innovation, as well as the creation of jobs in Australia.
Australia is one of the most culturally diverse countries worldwide, often dubbed to be a “lifestyle destination” and cosmopolitan to the core.
In addition to a business-friendly approach of the government and strong trading links, Australia also offers a wide range in opportunities for innovation.
Through the NIV Program, the Australian government will be granted Australian permanent residency visas for making new lives in the Land Down Under.
