WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Training Visa subclass 407 — the essential facts

What is the Training Visa (Subclass 407)?
The Training Visa (subclass 407) allows people to come to Australia to participate in workplace-based occupational training, to strengthen their skills in their current occupation or area of tertiary study, or to participate in a professional development training program. It is a temporary visa and does not provide a direct pathway to permanent residence, but can be a stepping stone to other visa subclasses.
Approved Sponsor Requirement
To apply for a subclass 407 visa, you must be nominated by an approved sponsor. The sponsor must be a standard business sponsor, a government agency, or a party to a labour agreement. The sponsor must nominate you for a specific training activity and submit a training plan that meets the Department of Home Affairs requirements. I advise sponsors and applicants on the nomination process and training plan requirements.
Training Plan — Critical for Approval
A compliant training plan is the most critical document in a subclass 407 application. The training plan must describe the training activities, the skills to be developed, the duration of the training, and how the training will be supervised. Deficient training plans are a common reason for refusal. I prepare and review training plans to ensure they meet the Department's requirements.
Visa Duration and Conditions
The subclass 407 visa is generally granted for the duration of the training program, up to a maximum of 2 years. Visa holders are subject to conditions including that they must only work in the nominated training activity and must not work for more than 40 hours per fortnight in activities other than the nominated training. Breaching visa conditions can lead to visa cancellation.
Occupational Training vs Professional Development
The subclass 407 visa has two main streams: occupational training (for people who need to register with a professional body or meet a licensing requirement) and professional development (for overseas professionals who want to enhance their skills). The requirements differ between streams. I advise on which stream applies to your circumstances and how to structure your application.
Pathways After the 407 Visa
The subclass 407 visa does not directly lead to permanent residence, but the skills and experience gained can support applications for employer-sponsored visas (subclass 482 or 186) or skilled migration visas (subclass 189 or 190). I advise on the best pathway to permanent residence based on your occupation, skills, and employer relationships.

ABOUT NILESH NANDAN

27 years advising on Australian visa matters

I have been advising on Australian visa matters for 27 years. Training Visa applications require careful attention to the training plan and sponsor nomination — these are the two most common reasons for refusal. I advise both applicants and sponsors on how to structure applications that meet the Department of Home Affairs requirements.

If your subclass 407 visa has been refused, you have a limited time to apply for merits review at the Administrative Review Tribunal. I review refusal decisions, identify legal and factual errors, and prepare compelling submissions for the ART. I also advise on pathways to permanent residence for Training Visa holders, including employer-sponsored and skilled migration options.

I am a solicitor admitted to the High Court of Australia, a Fellow of the Migration Institute of Australia (FMIA), and a member of the Law Council of Australia. I am a lawyer with full court rights and 32 years of legal experience. As a legal practitioner holding an unrestricted practising certificate, I am authorised to provide immigration assistance under the Migration Act 1958. Read more about my practice →
