StartupAus board member Teresa Engelhard has warned The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) that talent is more valuable than SIV investors (Significant Investor Visa) and it needs to change its attitude and approach when dealing with such talent.
Her warning comes after officials from both the UK and the US rushed in to entice Chris Bailey and his nine-person team at Disrupt to set-up his business there after Australia’s department of immigration recently threw-out the million dollar start-up entrepreneur for not picking fruit.
This relates to a blog that we posted last week, see the following link https://www.pendragon.net.au/breaking-visa-application-rules-consequencessee-important-tell-truth/
