SIV prior to 24 April 2015
WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANT INVESTOR VISA?
The Significant Investor Visa (SIV) is an initiative by the Australian Government. It provides an opportunity for people to migrate to Australia whilst benefiting the Australian economy. Under the SIV, high net worth investors must invest A$5m into SIV compliant investments for a minimum of four years before being eligible to apply for permanent residency.
Investors applying under this Visa will need to prove that the funds in which they are investing are compliant. Equity Trustees has completed the Declaration Form 1413 for applicants applying under the Visa which provides requisite proof of a fund’s complying status.
