Before you apply

You must have ready, information and documents to support your state nomination application and prove the claims you make:

• If you are applying for 188a Business Innovation Nomination you must have visited South Australia previously to be eligible for State nomination. Applicants who have not visited SA will be refused State nomination. Evidence must be provided at the time of application for State nomination. Information to be collected is the date and duration of the visit, wherein SA you have visited and the nature of your visit. The accepted evidence must include one of the following:

1.1.1  Meeting with Immigration SA (email confirmation of meeting)

1.1.2  Airline boarding passes – tickets are not accepted as they do not confirm the flight was taken

1.1.3  Receipts for accommodation in SA

1.2  If the above evidence is not available other submitted evidence may be accepted, such as emails to confirm the meeting with SA companies. Photos are not required and will not be assessed.

1.3  Your application needs to include an exploratory visit itinerary and details on the outcome from your visit. This information is being collected to help Immigration SA understand how your visit has benefited your understanding of business and lifestyle opportunities, it is not an eligibility requirement.

1.4   You must confirm that you have sufficient financial resources to support yourself and dependents to settle in South Australia and understand it is your responsibility to determine the cost of living in South Australia. Evidence of financial capacity is not required. However, Immigration SA reserves the right to seek additional information or evidence at a later stage if necessary.
