The Subclass 407 Visa process involves three key stages: sponsorship, nomination and visa application.

Sponsorship:

• The sponsoring business or organisation must apply and be approved as a Temporary Activities Sponsor.
• The sponsor must have a good record of compliance with Australian workplace and immigration laws.
• The sponsor must agree to meet ongoing sponsorship obligations.

Nomination:

• The sponsor nominates you for an approved occupational training program.
• The nomination application must specify the type of occupational training, the position details, and confirm that the training is directly relevant to the nominee’s skills and experience.
• Depending on the type of training, the sponsor may need to provide evidence of how the program will enhance or develop your occupational skills.

Visa Application:

• The applicant must provide evidence of work experience, qualifications, English proficiency, health and character.
• The visa application must be lodged with the Department of Home Affairs, accompanied by the required fees and documentation.

The processing times for the 407 Visa can vary depending on:

• The volume of applications lodged with the Department of Home Affairs.
• The completeness of the sponsorship, nomination and visa application, including how quickly you provide any additional information requested.

For the most up-to-date processing times, refer to the official Department of Home Affairs website.
