Training visa (subclass 407)
Training Subclass 407 Visas
The Training Subclass 407 Visa is a short stay visa for people occupational training or professional development in Australia.
Common Visa Criteria
There are two eligibility pathways for the visa. However, all applicants must show that they:

- Hold private health insurance
- Have access to sufficient funds to support themselves in Australia
- Genuinely intend to stay temporarily in Australia for the intended purpose

Occupational Trainees
This stream requires a nomination by the sponsor to do one of the following activities in Australia:
- Training required to obtain registration, membership or a licence to work in Australia or home country
- Training in a CSOL occupation – in this case, the applicant must have worked full time in the occupation for at least 12 of the last 24 months
- Up to 6 months of practical experience, research or observation is required to obtain an overseas qualification
- Training supported by a government agency or the applicant’s home government
Occupational training would generally require at least 70% of the training to be on-the-job versus classroom training.
Professional Development
This would require you to be working overseas in a management or professional position. Training is primarily classroom training and would need to be in skills relevant to your position.
How do I apply?
The application must be lodged online. You can either be in Australia or overseas when lodging the application.
Can I Include Family Members?
Family members (spouses and children) can be included in your application.
Visa Conditions
The visa is generally valid for stay in Australia of 2 years. The visa is subject to condition 8102 which forbids work apart from the training specified in the visa application. You must also maintain your health insurance whilst in Australia.
If you are outside Australia at time of grant, this visa allows you to:
- to travel to and enter Australia after your visa is granted and
- remain in Australia during the stay period granted (up to a maximum of two years), which begins on the day you first enter Australia.
If you are in Australia at time of grant, this visa allows you to:
- remain in Australia during the stay period granted (up to a maximum of two years), which begins on the date your visa is granted.
The duration of stay (stay period) you have been granted will be consistent with the requirements of your training position or professional development programme.
When you receive your visa, you are issued with a visa grant notification letter that explains the conditions of your visa, including the stay period and entry requirements.
