Temporary Migration

Want to come and visit Australia? Perhaps you want to come over here to work, pursue business interests, or to train? There are many visas that allow you to remain in Australia on a temporary basis. Whether you qualify for any of these categories will depend on a number of factors, including your age, your qualifications and your level of relevent experience. Some of the temporary visa categories we deal with here at TEP include –

457 (long stay) Business Visa - This is the most commonly used visa for employers to sponsor skilled overseas workers to work in Australia on a temporary basis. There are also special arrangements for employers in regional areas across Australia. On this visa you can work for your sponsor in Australia for anywhere from 6 months to 4 years.

456 (short stay) Business Visa – This visa is for non-ETA eligible business people (for more information on ETA and non-ETA eligible countries click here) to make a short business visit to Australia for up to three months.

442 Occupational Training Visa - This temporary visa is for people from outside Australia who want to improve their work skills through training with an Australian employer.

421 Sport Visa – This visa is designed for professional and amateur sports people, judges and adjudicators to come to Australia to participate in their field of sport.
