Training Subclass 407 Visas

The Training Subclass 407 Visa is a short-stay visa for people with occupational training or professional development in Australia.
Common Visa Criteria

There are two eligibility pathways for the visa. However, all applicants must show that they:

• Have turned 18 (or can demonstrate exceptional circumstances)
• Have functional English
• Hold private health insurance
• Have access to sufficient funds to support themselves in Australia
• Genuinely intend to stay temporarily in Australia for the intended purpose
• Meet health and character requirements

Sponsorship by an approved Temporary Activities Sponsor is required.

Occupational Trainees

This stream requires a nomination by the sponsor to do one of the following activities in Australia:

• Training required to obtain registration, membership, or a license to work in Australia or home country
• Training in a gazetted occupation – in this case, the applicant must have worked full time in the occupation for at least 12 of the last 24 months
• Up to 6 months of practical experience, research or observation are required to obtain an overseas qualification
• Training supported by a government agency or the applicant’s home government

Occupational training would generally require at least 70% of the training to be on-the-job versus classroom training.

Professional Development

This would require you to be working overseas in a management or professional position. Training is primarily classroom training and would need to be in skills relevant to your position.

How do I apply?

The application must be lodged online. You can either be in Australia or overseas when lodging the application.

Can I Include Family Members?

Family members (spouses and children) can be included in your application.

Visa Conditions

The visa is generally valid for a stay in Australia of 2 years. The visa is subject to condition 8102 which forbids work apart from the training specified in the visa application. You must also maintain your health insurance whilst in Australia.
