Success Case 4

Visa Type: 188A Business Innovation and Investment Visa

Date of Visa Approval: February 22, 2023

Applicant: Mr Gao

Key Points: A 38-year-old private enterprise executive went through a series of ups and downs before being approved for a 188A visa.

Mr Gao is an executive of a well-known company in China who wanted to expand the business to Australia. After discussing his situation with Edu Pathways’ immigration consultants, Mr Gao was confident that the Australian Investment Immigration Visa (subclass 188a visa) could help him achieve this goal. This began the visa application process.

After being referred by a friend, Mr Gao contacted Edu Pathways seeking professional immigration consultation and assistance. The consultants at Edu Pathways assessed his situation and confirmed that he would indeed meet the application requirements for the 188a visa. Edu Pathways then assisted Mr Gao in preparing the necessary application materials, including a business plan, financial proof, investment plan, and English proficiency results.


With help and guidance from the team at Edu Pathways, Mr Gao submitted his visa application and after a short period of time, received confirmation from the Australian Immigration Department notifying him that his visa application had been accepted. He then proceeded in submitting any further materials to support his application, including
medical examination reports and police checks, in order to prove that he met the immigration department's requirements.

After three months, Mr Gao was notified that his application had been successful and was granted a 188a visa. He now plans to register his business in Australia and start doing business in the country soon. Mr Gao is planning to have his children immigrate to Australia and will contact Edu Pathways for help in this matter.
