407 Visa

Training Visa (Subclass 407) – Gain Professional Experience in Australia

  • Develop your skills and experience in Australia through structured workplace training.
  • Stay in Australia for up to two years with sponsorship.
  • Improve your career prospects with hands-on training in your field.

What is the Training Visa 407?

The Training Visa 407 is a temporary visa that allows individuals to undertake workplace-based training or professional development in Australia. This visa is designed for people who need on-the-job experience to enhance their skills in their current occupation, tertiary studies, or professional field.

This visa has three main streams:

  1. Occupational Training for Registration – For individuals needing workplace training to obtain licensing or registration in their occupation.
  2. Occupational Training to Improve Skills – For applicants who require structured training in their current occupation or field of study.
  3. Occupational Training for Capacity Building – For professionals supported by a government agency or employer-sponsored exchange program.

Unlike employer-sponsored visas such as the SID 482 visa, the 407 visa focuses on training rather than full-time employment.

Holders of the Training Visa 407 can:

  • Stay in Australia for up to 2 years for training purposes.
  • Gain valuable workplace experience and improve skills in an Australian environment.

  • Include family members (such as a spouse or dependent children) in the application.
