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 relevant 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 approved skilled overseas workers to work in Australia on a temporary basis. Employers can nominate a number of positions for different occupations under the same sponsorship application. With this visa the people businesses employ from overseas can: work in Australia for a period of between one day and four (4) years; bring any eligible secondary applicants with them to Australia – secondary applicants can work and study and after entering Australia, have no limit on the number of times they travel in and out of Australia.
456, 459, 956 & 977 (short stay) Business Visa – Business visitor visas are for business people to visit Australia for business purposes, for example, to attend a conference or training session, to conduct business with an Australia-based organisation, to conduct business negotiations or for an exploratory business visit. Business activities do not include acting, musical performances or commercial film making.
416 Exchange Visa – The visa is designed to promote opportunities for people to experience other cultures, enhance international relations and broaden your experience and knowledge. This visa may suit you if you: are aged between 19 and 30, have not been to Australia before on a working holiday visa and wish to come to Australia to experience work in regional Australia or the equine/rural industries. To participate in this approved youth exchange program you must be invited by TEP. To find out about the qualifying criteria for the TEP program, please contact us.
442 Occupational Training Visa - This visa is for people from outside Australia who want to improve their occupational skills through training with an Australian organisation. People may be nominated for this visa to participate in: training or practical experience in the workplace required for the person to obtain registration for employment in their occupation in Australia or in their home country; a structured workplace training program to enhance the person’s existing skills in an eligible occupation; or structured workplace training to enhance the person’s skills and promote capacity building overseas.
421 Sport Visa – This visa is designed for sportspeople to improve the quality of sport in Australia through participation in high-level competition and training with Australian residents. Generally sportspeople come to Australia to compete in a specific event or series of events or be involved in sport under an arrangement with a sporting club to play/coach/instruct for a season. This visa is for professional and amateur sportspeople, judges and adjudicators who want to come to Australia to participate in their field of sport. With this visa you can participate in high-level competition or training in Australia, compete against Australian residents and stay and work or undertake activities in the nominated position in Australia.
