Subclass 407 Training Visa

Get Advice on a 407 Visa

Subclass 407

Training Visa

Subclass 407 visa is a temporary visa, designed purely around structured training and professional development. Its purpose is to allow overseas participants to come to Australia to develop or enhance skills in a workplace setting, whether for occupational registration, professional upskilling, or capacity building. Once the training is complete, participants are generally expected to return home or transition to another visa.

Three Training Categories

There are 3 types of occupational training covered by this visa:

Occupational training required for registration
Occupational training to improve skills in an eligible occupation
Occupational training for capacity building overseas. This includes overseas qualification, government support or professional development.

Key Considerations

The Training Plan
The training plan is the cornerstone of any 407 application and is the most common reason for refusal when done poorly. The Department scrutinises it closely to ensure the program is genuine, structured, and delivers real skills development.
Visa Duration
The 407 visas can be granted for up to two years, and eligible family members can accompany the visa holder during that period.
Who Needs to Be Careful
People already in Australia on another visa need to be particularly cautious under the new rules. Because the visa application can no longer be lodged until both approvals are granted, there is now a potential gap where an applicant’s current visa could expire before they are eligible to lodge. In those situations, the person may need to depart Australia or explore an alternative visa option while waiting.
Pathway to Permanent Residency
The 407 visas does not directly lead to permanent residency. However, it can form part of a broader migration strategy — for example, a trainee who completes their program and meets the requirements of a skilled visa may be well placed to transition onto a pathway toward permanent residence.
Important 2026 Rule Change

A significant procedural change came into effect on 11 March 2026. Previously, employers could lodge the sponsorship application, the training nomination, and the visa application all at the same time. This is no longer permitted. The employer must now first obtain approval as a Temporary Activities Sponsor, then receive an approved training nomination, and only after both are in place can the visa application itself be lodged. Applications submitted without these two prior approvals in place will be rejected as invalid. This change has extended lead times considerably — sponsorship and nomination approvals can currently take anywhere from several months up to nearly a year, so employers need to plan well ahead of any intended training start date.
