Is the 407 visa a pathway to permanent residency?

No. The Subclass 407 visa is temporary and primarily intended for skill development. It does not provide direct access to permanent residency, although experience gained may support future skilled visa applications.

Yes. Eligible family members such as a spouse/partner and dependent children may be included in the application and granted visas for the same duration.

Can I work outside of the training?

No. Work is restricted to the activities specified in the structured training program. Any additional employment must be authorised by the Department of Home Affairs.

How long is the Training Visa valid?

The visa is generally valid for up to 2 years, depending on the training program and stream, with the exact duration specified in the visa grant notice.

Do I need health insurance for all visa holders?

Yes. All applicants, including family members, must maintain adequate health insurance for the full duration of their stay in Australia.
