FAQs About 407 Training Visa

You can typically remain in Australia on a subclass 407 Training Visa for up to two years. The exact duration granted depends on the structured occupational training program arranged and approved by your sponsoring organisation and the Department of Home Affairs. Your visa duration will directly align with the specific training period outlined in your approved training plan. Extensions beyond the initial visa period are generally not available, meaning you’ll need to complete your training within the specified timeframe. At Migration Launchpad, we assist you and your sponsoring organisation in preparing a detailed training plan, ensuring your application clearly outlines your intended length of stay and meets the Department’s requirements.

The subclass 407 visa does not provide a direct pathway to permanent residency in Australia. However, it can be an excellent stepping stone, significantly enhancing your professional qualifications, practical experience, and industry-specific skills. This valuable training and work experience can strengthen your eligibility for future permanent residency pathways, such as skilled migration or employer-sponsored visas, by improving your overall points and professional profile. At Migration Launchpad, we can help you strategically plan your migration journey, leveraging the skills gained during your 407 visa to position you effectively for future residency opportunities.

Yes, obtaining a subclass 407 visa requires sponsorship from an approved Temporary Activities Sponsor for the entire duration of your structured training program in Australia. Your sponsor could be an employer, a registered training organisation, or another recognised body authorised by the Department of Home Affairs. The sponsor is responsible for supporting your visa application and ensuring that the training you receive is structured, supervised, and beneficial to your occupational development. Migration Launchpad works closely with you and your sponsor to facilitate a smooth sponsorship and nomination process, ensuring compliance and clarity throughout each step.

Yes, you can engage in full-time activities while holding a subclass 407 visa, provided your work remains strictly within the parameters of your approved structured occupational training program. This visa is specifically designed to facilitate professional training and skills development—not general employment—so your full-time work must directly align with the objectives outlined in your training plan. Employment outside of the structured training is generally prohibited, and breaching this condition can jeopardise your visa status. Migration Launchpad can provide clarity around your work rights and responsibilities, ensuring you fully understand the limitations and obligations of your 407 visa.

The subclass 407 visa specifically supports structured occupational training in Australia, tailored towards enhancing professional skills, achieving professional registration, or promoting career development. Qualifying training includes workplace-based training programs aimed at improving your existing skills or obtaining registration or licensing required for your occupation. The training must clearly relate to your current occupation, field of expertise, or intended career progression. Migration Launchpad will guide you through defining your eligible training goals and structuring a comprehensive training plan, ensuring your application meets all necessary criteria and effectively aligns with your professional objectives.

Yes, you are permitted to bring immediate family members, such as your spouse or de facto partner and dependent children, to Australia under your subclass 407 visa. Family members included in your visa application will be granted visas with conditions linked to yours, allowing them to reside in Australia for the duration of your training program. However, their work rights may be restricted, depending on specific conditions applied to their individual visas. Migration Launchpad can assist you in clearly understanding the rights, restrictions, and eligibility of your accompanying family members, ensuring your family’s entry and stay in Australia is smooth, compliant, and stress-free.
