Ready Migration, with head office based on the Gold Coast, are always up to date with the latest changes and information from The Department of Immigration & Border Protection. If you have a skill, trade or qualification that Australia needs it can be relatively easy compared to other options to obtain a 457 visa. However, the requirements of the country are forever changing, your Ready Migration agent will be on hand to take you through how to apply for this visa.

The 457 visa allows you;

• To stay in Australia for four years
• Allows you to sponsor eligible family members to join you
• The chance to apply for citizenship after 2 years of employment

A 457 Temporary work visa enables skilled overseas workers to migrate to Australia and work for an approved business for a maximum of four years.

The business must sponsor the employee, but firstly the business must be approved by the Australian Immigration Department. Once they can prove that they can’t find an Australian national to carry out the work they can call upon overseas labour to migrate to Australia on the 457 visa with sponsorship.

A 457 visa allows any eligible family members to migrate to Australia on that visa, including same sex partners, who themselves have unrestricted working and study rights for the duration of the 457 Visa. However, the 457 Visa holder must only work for their sponsor. It is very common that people on this work visa apply for permanent residency after two years.

A Ready Migration Agent will be able to talk through the employer’s eligibility to sponsor you, if they are not already approved, and the likelihood of you being provided for a 457 Visa based on Australia’s most up to date criteria.
