Subclass 457 Temporary Work (Skilled) Visa

The Subclass 457 Temporary Work (Skilled) Visa allowed skilled workers to be sponsored by an Australian employer to live and work in Australia for up to 4 years. While this visa was discontinued in March 2018 and replaced by the Subclass 482 (TSS Visa), individuals who held the Subclass 457 visa may still be eligible for certain transitional arrangements, including pathways to permanent residency.

Key Benefits:

Current Pathways

If you held or currently hold a Subclass 457 visa, you may be eligible for

• Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) Visa: A pathway to permanent residency if your employer is willing to nominate you under the Temporary Residence Transition stream.
• Subclass 482 (TSS Visa): For those who wish to continue working in Australia under the updated Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa program, which offers similar benefits and allows for short-term and medium-term employment.
• Subclass 189 or 190 (Skilled Independent or State Nominated Visa): Skilled workers with qualifications and experience may also be eligible to apply independently or with state nomination for permanent residency.
