407 & 482 Visa Rules Explained: Approved Nomination, 180-Day Rule & Sponsor Changes

Are you looking for sponsorship for a Subclass 407 Training visa, Subclass 482 Skills in Demand visa or Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme visa? Or are you already holding a 482 visa and worried about what happens if you resign, lose your job or your sponsoring business is sold? In this video, our immigration lawyer from Professional Visa and Education Services explains some of the most common sponsorship questions we receive from visa applicants and temporary skilled visa holders. We discuss: Why the Subclass 407 Training visa is not an independent visa The current requirement for an approved sponsor and nomination before lodging a 407 visa application Why an approved nomination does not automatically guarantee visa eligibility What happens when a 482 holder's sponsored employment ends Understanding the 180-day and 365-day limits Working during the permitted transition period Finding a new sponsor and dealing with a new nomination What may happen if a sponsoring business is sold or changes ownership Why your salary, hours and employment arrangements should remain consistent with sponsorship requirements The importance of planning before your visa or transition period becomes a problem Home Affairs currently requires Subclass 407 applicants to have an approved sponsor and nomination before applying. Current visa condition guidance also sets the relevant 180-day single-period and 365-day total limits for affected sponsored visa holders who cease sponsored employment. Every sponsorship and visa situation is different. Do not assume that a 407 visa is an automatic backup option or that having 180 days means you should wait until the end of that period before taking action.
