Overview
What is the Subclass 407 Training Visa?
The Subclass 407 Training Visa is a temporary visa that allows people to come to Australia to participate in occupational training activities. It's designed for people who need structured workplace-based training to improve their skills in their current occupation.
Unlike the 482 work visa, the 407 is specifically for training — not permanent employment. The training must be structured, supervised, and relevant to your current or future occupation.
The visa can be granted for up to 2 years and requires a sponsoring organisation approved by the Department of Home Affairs.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Subclass 407 Training Visa take to process?
Processing times vary depending on the complexity of the training plan and the sponsor's history, but most straightforward applications are decided within 2 to 4 months. Applications with an incomplete training plan or a first-time sponsor typically take longer.
Can I work for a different employer on a 407 visa?
No. The 407 visa is tied to your approved training sponsor and the specific training plan submitted to the Department. Undertaking work outside that structured training arrangement breaches your visa conditions.
Does the 407 visa lead to permanent residency?
The 407 visa does not itself provide a direct pathway to permanent residency. However, the skills and Australian work experience gained during training can strengthen a future skilled migration or employer-sponsored visa application, depending on your occupation and circumstances.
Can my family come with me on a 407 visa?
Yes. Immediate family members (partner and dependent children) can generally be included in your application as secondary applicants, subject to the standard family member eligibility criteria.
