ShawnDmi Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Howdy guys. I am from the UK and want to move to Melbourne. I have some savings and was thinking about opening a restaurant. Can you guys help me to find a good provider with equipment for the restaurant? Any purpose will be welcomed. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Have you got a visa? That would probably be a first step before you go into things like restaurant equipment providers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnDmi Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 I am checking now the threads on the forum about visa and stuff like that. A friend of mine moved to Australia a few years ago and she had no problems. So I was thinking that I will be okay for me too. I have an appointment at the embassy next week and there are no reasons to be declined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us have friends who got visas with no problems but they have totally different skills and qualifications. What visa are you applying for when you go for this supposed appointment? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one are you thinking of and why would you be going to the embassy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What skill do you have and have you checked is on the skills in demand list? I hope you're not going to the embassy because there isn't one in London - its the High Commission and who do you think you are seeing there who could give you a visa? Or are you an Australian by descent or something (in which case you would have an appointment with an officer to verify your documents).

unzippy Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 What kind of restaurant? https://www.hotelagenciesrestaurantsupplies.com.au/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) You could try this visa. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/business-innovation-and-investment-188 It would cost you AUD 1.5 million as an investor or you could try for the Business Innovation Stream which involves: Scoring at least 65 on the points test Providing proof of your business success (annual turnover, ownership stake) You, your partner, or you and your partner together, have total net business and personal assets of at least AUD800,000 and the visa costs over $5,w000. I don't know if this applies to opening a restaurant. I'll leave you to check up on that when you talk to someone at the embassy next week. Good luck with that.

ShawnDmi Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 I got it wrong, I didn't apply for the visa yet. It was a meeting with a company that will help me to apply for a visa. I got it wrong, sorry my mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You started your post almost as if you’d been told it was easy, I hope you weren’t led to believe that by this company. People on here were honest with you as millions want to move to Australia, a great many never can. I wish you well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnDmi Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 The company I applied for the visa, said to take a visa that enters in subclass 188 and after then I can apply for subclass 888, or something like that, I am not sure, I have a notice in the copybook about that.
