The Senior Executive (Provisional) visa is a temporary visa that entitles you to contribute to the success of an Australian business and your family to live and work or study in Australia for up to four years.
Upon satisfying certain requirements, you may qualify for permanent residence under one of the Business Skills (Residence) visa categories. This second stage may require sponsorship from a participating State or Territory government.
