Re: Advice Needed.

If being closer to Thailand is crucial then choosing Singapore would be wise. However I am surprised to hear something like that when you spent more than 15 years in US. I read people stories though...

Re: Company setup -> 457 -> 856 = PR in 2 years?

I am in touch with lawyer, migration assistant and business migration company. The point is they say it's doable but it is always good to check with people's experience before spending almost US$20k....

Re: Company setup -> 457 -> 856 = PR in 2 years?

I did ask earlier but since then I did more homework and asked specific questions. It's hard to believe that no one went this route as it seems much easier than business visa, even if it would...

Re: Company setup -> 457 -> 856 = PR in 2 years?

Thanks for the info.

Have you been sponsored by company that you own(ed)?
There is no other way to meet the required "benchmarks" than hiring PR or Australian, right?

Re: Company setup -> 457 -> 856 = PR in 2 years?

I know about business visa but the process itself is quite long and complicated, while 457 seems straightforward.

Maybe employing Australians would make a difference, but considering that company...

Re: LTBV application approval and your experiences

Are you saying that your company pays 28% tax and you simply take the drawings out? So there is no need to pay any additional personal income tax on those drawings?
