Frequently asked questions
What is the subclass 407 Training visa?
The subclass 407 Training visa allows you to take part in workplace-based occupational training activities in Australia. The Department of Home Affairs describes it as training to improve your skills for your job, your area of tertiary study, your field of expertise, or through a professional development training program. It is a temporary visa, not a permanent residence pathway.
Do I need a sponsor for a subclass 407 visa?
Yes. The Department of Home Affairs requires subclass 407 applicants to have an approved sponsor and an approved nomination in place before they can apply for the visa. For employers this means the sponsorship and nomination applications must be lodged and approved first. Planning the sequence early avoids a gap between the trainee’s current visa and the training start date.
How long does a subclass 407 visa last?
The subclass 407 is a temporary visa. The Department states it may grant a visa allowing a stay in Australia of up to two years. The period granted depends on the approved training plan, so the duration and structure of the training program set out in the nomination effectively determine how long the visa runs.
How much does the subclass 407 visa cost?
The Department of Home Affairs publishes the subclass 407 visa application charge as from AUD535.00, with concessions applying in limited circumstances. This is the visa application charge only. Sponsorship and nomination application charges payable by the employer, health examinations, police certificates and insurance are separate costs that should be budgeted for at the start.
Can a subclass 407 visa lead to an employer sponsored visa?
The subclass 407 is a temporary training visa and does not itself lead to permanent residence. Some holders later apply for an employer sponsored visa such as the Skills in Demand (subclass 482) if they meet the separate requirements for that visa, including the skills, English and occupation criteria, and if an approved sponsor nominates them.
