What is 457 Visa?

This is the most commonly used program for employers to sponsor overseas workers to work in Australia on a temporary basis. There are also special arrangements for employers in regional areas across Australia.

If a candidate's application is successful, they will be granted temporary residence in Australia, and have multiple entry to and from Australia for the duration of your visa, without any restrictions. Sponsored employees may stay in Australia for the length of the visa validity period – the visa does not expire when the sponsorship expires, and candidates can keep applying for any permanent visa class while you are on a 457 Visa.

Restrictions on the 457 visa

A 457 visa holder can only work in a nominated occupation for the sponsor employer.

Medical practitioners and general managers must work in their nominated occupation but they can work for employers other than their sponsor or an associated entity of their sponsor.

The specific occupations to which this rule applies are listed in Exemption from the requirement to work directly for the sponsor.

The worker must also not have ceased employment for more than 60 consecutive days.

457 visa update

The Australian Government reviewed the 457 skilled immigrant visa and made some provisions to quicken the transition to permanent residency starting on 1 July 2012.

From that date, non-resident workers on the 457 skilled immigration visa are able to transition to permanent residency if they have two years with the employer who has sponsored them and if the employer provides a full-time position in the 457 visa holder's nominated occupation.

Furthermore, the Australian government has recognised that 457 visas deserve priority in review as they are highly responsive to the needs of the market. Overseas workers will be able to work in Australia on a six-month short term work visa before they apply for a 457 visa.
