In today’s blog update, we will talk about Subclass 400 Visa which is a temporary visa allowing skilled people to enter Australia for short-term, highly specialized work. Short-term generally means less than 3 months, however, visas can be granted for up to six months in special circumstances.
Please keep in mind that Subclass 400 is the only one that requires a smaller number of specifications before application than the others.
In order to apply for the temporary work visa – short stay specialist, there are:
– No English Requirements
– No TSMIT
– No Skill Assessment
– No Employer Nomination Required
– Occupation does not need to be in the Short-term Skilled Occupation List or Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List.
It involves a single application for visas, and it is very convenient. It is unlike a standard employer-sponsored 482 visa or 407 Training Visa, which needs 3 steps. However, you can only apply for this visa in a very specific type of situation.
What type of occupation can get this:
Such a visa is specifically designed for specialized and non-ongoing work. For instance, temporary projects like short-term project work.
A few good examples where I have seen this used:
– Chefs brought in over COVID
Individual works in specialty Art installation for unique projects.
– Surveyors for large projects
Please note, when you are applying for this, you must explain to immigration:
– Why can they not get an Australian person?
– Terms and conditions are no less favorable to Aus employees
– No adverse consequence to Australians
Duration:
Up to 6 months.
Can you apply for a 482 onshore after:
Yes, it is possible.
Costs:
$405 AUD
