407 Visa application process — how we help you every step of the way

To apply for a 407 Visa, you will need to be nominated by an Australian organisation that has been pre-approved to provide occupational training. Pre-approved organisations can provide training required for registration, to enhance skills in eligible occupations or to promote capacity building overseas. To be nominated for occupational training to improve your occupational skills, you will usually need to show that you have at least 12 months of suitable prior experience that relates to the training that will be provided. For occupational training that is required to obtain a professional registration, the training must be mandatory to obtain occupational registration in your home country or in Australia.

You will only be permitted to work for your approved training sponsor. At the end of the 407 Visa, you may be eligible to apply for another type of visa.
