From 11 March 2026, Subclass 407 visa application cannot be made before the approval of the sponsor’s sponsorship as temporary activities sponsor and their nomination for the applicant.
What does this mean?
Sponsors considering nominating an applicant under subclass 407 training visa must lodge their sponsorship and nomination applications well before the proposed training start date.
Previously it was possible for the visa applicants to lodge their visa application at the same time as the sponsorship and Training visa nomination application. Ofcourse, the sponsorship and nomination had to be approved before the visa application was granted. This allowed for visa applicants to make Training visa application (subclass 407) even when they had very limited time on their current visas. However, with the upcoming changes, this would not be possible as the visa applicants should now give themselves sufficient time on their current visas to allow for their nominating employer’s sponsorship and nomination to be approved first.
This change is aimed at improving the integrity of Subclass 407 Training visa program and reduce non-genuine applications.
