im currently near the end of my holiday working visa (28th july) i want to stay in australia permanently and need some advice on if its possible to apply for a 186 visa now without having to leave at the end of the month. I work for a company who is happy to sponsor me on a 457 visa however i have a bachelors in physical education and im working as a swim instructor (which is on the new 2017 skills list) so instead of going through th long process of a 457 is it possible to get a bridging visa while applying for the 186? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
