Ireland - The country is quite aggressive in getting foreign entrepreneurs. Check their Start-Up Entrepreneur Programme as it only requires at least 50,000 euros and 10 available jobs in Ireland.
Australia - The applicant should be under 55 years of age and has a least $250,000 AUD to fund a business. The visa is also said to not provide a way to become a permanent resident, however, long term stay can be granted.
