Hi,

I am planning a holiday to AU in November and have been online to organise the visitor visa and it asks if we have a current visa, we previously had a 457 visa granted in 2011 and returned to the UK in 2014 and canceled the 457. I am not sure if I have to add this visa to the application or not?

TIA

Lynne

My answer was in reponse to the original post..I hadn't read any other posts so assumed he meant a straight forward 457 application.

Very different scenario then.

 

:biggrin:

No..my husband was sponsored by an Australian company and I just applied for the 457 without using an agent.

Did you set up your own business in Australia and self sponsor?

 

If so, I am sure the OP would love to hear from you.

Sorry should have worded it a little better...if waiting for the 2yrs :biggrin:

The company can sponsor any time they like, it is just a different application stream.

I did our 457 application myself, pretty straight forward.

As far as I've been told you have to have been working in Australia for the company sponsoring you for PR for 2 years.

Hi,

You can apply at any time if you have your trade skills recognised - TRA or VETASSESS
