The Premium Investor Visa (PIV) has been introduced to attract a small number of highly talented and entrepreneurial individuals who can translate those skills and talents into areas which deliver a long-term economic benefit to Australia. The PIV will be available at the invitation of the Australian Government only, with potential recipients to be nominated by Austrade. Please note, the Government will be highly selective in determining who is offered the opportunity to apply for a PIV, and unsolicited expressions of interest will not be accepted. The programme will be developed in Australia’s top two-way investment market, the United States, in the first instance and then gradually expanded to other top two-way investment markets
