What is 457 Visa?
This is the most commonly used program for
employers to sponsor overseas workers to work in
Australia on a temporary basis. There are also
special arrangements for employers in regional
areas across Australia. If a candidate's
application is successful, they will be granted
temporary residence in Australia, and have
multiple entry to and from Australia for the
duration of your visa, without any restrictions.
Sponsored employees may stay in Australia for the
length of the visa validity period the visa
does not expire when the sponsorship expires, and
candidates can keep applying for any permanent
visa class while you are on a 457 Visa.

457 visa update
The Australian Government reviewed the 457
skilled immigrant visa and made some provisions
to quicken the transition to permanent residency
starting on 1 July 2012. From that date,
non-resident workers on the 457 skilled
immigration visa are able to transition to
permanent residency if they have two years with
the employer who has sponsored them and if the
employer provides a full-time position in the 457
visa holder's nominated occupation. Furthermore,
the Australian government has recognised that 457
visas deserve priority in review as they are
highly responsive to the needs of the market.
Overseas workers will be able to work in
Australia on a six-month short term work visa
before they apply for a 457 visa.
