Australia introduces immigration-friendly visas

One of Sri Lanka's leading Australian Migration Consultants - Australia Gateway, the Sri Lankan arm of Melbourne-based Fairfields Lawyers has embarked on aggressively promoting investment, trade and immigration opportunities in the Continent, in the light of its latest immigration-friendly visa regime.

"The recently-introduced 'Australia Business Innovation and Investment Visa' helps successful business innovators and investors who wish to invest or enter into business deals in Australia and contribute to the growth of the Australian economy.

This offers ample opportunities for Sri Lankan professionals and businessmen," Susantha Katugampala, a Sri Lankan Immigration Law Specialist practicing in Melbourne, said.

The Business Innovation and Investment Program has flexibility provisions to assist business people and their family members to achieve permanent residency and encourages innovative businesses.

"With Australia being the number one immigration-friendly country, we have a trend in Sri Lanka where many professionals and businessmen are exploring the possibility of migrating to Australia," he said.

"It is important that the public receive the right information and advice with regards to this issue as the possibilities of potential immigrants being mislead are many. With regard to migration, a majority of people in Sri Lanka have a limited access to accurate information," Katugampala said.
