APPLICATION PROCESS
There are 3 stages to the training visa application process:
Step 1. Temporary Activities Sponsor
- Employers and training organisations will apply to the Department of Home Affairs (DOHA) for Temporary Activities Sponsor approval. Sponsorship approval is granted for a period of up to 5 years.
- Once approved, you may then nominate any number of foreign nationals to undertake training in your organisation.
Step 2. Nomination
- An approved sponsor then nominates the position to be filled by an overseas occupational trainee.
- The nomination process identifies the nomination eligibility type, details of the proposed training program, position to be filled, skills, qualifications and experience required for the position and the person who has been nominated to take part in the activity.
Step 3. 407 Visa Application
- The employee would then apply for a 407 visa to work in Australia in the nominated position.
- The applicant must have the skills and experience needed for the nominated position, meet English language, health and character requirements for the visa and hold suitable health insurance.
