The 400 visa Australia is for those individuals who want to come to the country and work for specialized jobs. It is for individuals who will be for a short term in highly specialized areas. The visa is used by the people who need work for a limited time period. The work profile could include a short term project or a job in a specialized role. The visa is granted not more than three months. However, in some special cases flexibility can be allowed.
There are several benefits associated with visa sub class 400.
Here are some eligibility requirements for this visa:
You will be coming to Australia to perform highly specialized work which cannot be easily done by an Australian worker. You will have to Lemon straight that you have the specific knowledge and skills which are not widely available in the local work force of the country.
You have to meet the genuine temporary entrant (GTE) criteria into the country temporarily. You will have to establish that once your work is done and the project is completed you will leave the country.
You will require a sponsorship from an employer or an organization in Australia. The sponsor will have to be approved by the government in order to hire foreign workers.
Your position at work should be of a short term. Employers will have to establish that you have the necessary qualification and experience to perform the specialized job work.
You and your family members will have to meet the health and character requirements. This will include undergoing a medical examination and getting a police clearance certificate.
You should be able to communicate effectively in English customer interaction. In some cases, you may need to provide evidence of your English language skills.
You will have to show that you have the financial capability to support yourself and your family members.
Work visa subclasses are divided into two groups: temporary work visas and permanent (or provisional) skilled migration visas.
Skills in Demand visa (Subclass 482)
This was the replacement of the temporary skill shortage visa by the skills in demand visa, that came into effect in December 2024. The approved sponsor can sponsor you for up to four years either in the core skills, specialist skills or Labour Agreement Stream.
Working Holiday visa (Subclass 417 and 462)
The visa is targeted at young adults, usually within the age of 18 to 30 years (or even 35 years for certain nationals). This allows you to travel and work in Australia for one year, extendable through suitable employment.
Temporary Graduate visa (Subclass 485)
This visa allows international graduates to stay in Australia on a temporary basis and work after completing an approved course in Australia. This visa stream is available for a period of time determined by the qualification that you have.
Training visa (Subclass 407)
The purpose of this visa is to allow the applicant to train in an organised and workplace based way to improve their skills in the job that they have or in a professional development program for up to two years.
Skilled Independent visa (Subclass 189)
Points-based visa for skilled worker invitations that needs neither nomination nor sponsorship. It allows obtaining Australian permanent residence wherever you want in Australia, if your job falls under one of the relevant lists and you have enough points.
Skilled Nominated visa (Subclass 190)
This permanent, points-tested visa is dependent on nomination from an Australian state or territory government. The nominated candidates will earn some additional points to the overall 65 points requirement. They also agree to live in the nominating state for some time.
Employer Nomination Scheme visa (Subclass 186)
This permanent visa enables an employer from Australia to nominate a skilled worker in an existing job position. The two streams included in the permanent visa program are the direct entry stream and the temporary residence transition stream.
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa (Subclass 494)
Temporary employer sponsored visa to regional Australia, which is valid for a period of five years. This temporary visa then qualifies for the Subclass 191 visa, after residing in the region on this visa for a period of three years and satisfying income criteria.
