Blewyn Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Can you work abroad for an Australian company, and get paid in Australia, on a 457 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 If you are not working in Australia then you won't need a 457, you would need a visa for the country you are working in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blewyn Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Can someone else answer the question please ? Can you live in Australia, be employed by an Australian company, be paid in Australia, and work overseas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallyman Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 If you are on a 457 visa might be best to phone up immigration and ask them , get it from the horses mouth as to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blossom Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 It depends on how long you are out for. As part of your 457 conditions you have to work full time at the place specified in your visa application. If you are not doing that then you are breaking your visa conditions. A week or two you might be ok with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovingtoTasmania Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Can someone else answer the question please ? Can you live in Australia, be employed by an Australian company, be paid in Australia, and work overseas ? I think this is a tax issue not an immigration one, as if you were working overseas for an Australian company, but want to be resident in Australia, you would need to find out what the residency requirements are in terms of taxation as if you are paying tax to ATO, then you are an Australian resident. I hope that makes sense? But if you were working in say America for an Australian company, you would need the company to sponsor you for a visa to work in America, unless you are working in an Embassy in which case your 457 would suffice as you are technically on Australian soil. Or are you meaning some sort of FIFO job to an overseas location, in which case, someone like @VERYSTORMY might be able to help you with the technicalities as I think he works overseas but lives in Australia.

MaggieMay24 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I would think you run risk of breaching your visa conditions if you are outside Australia for a significant time, but this is just a guess. I'd suggest you speak with a migration agent (DIBP is unreliable for giving accurate information). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blewyn Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 I just spoke with the horse itself (131881), and yes that tune is going to be ringing in my ears for the rest of the day, and they said you can work outside Oz on a 457 as long as the job is based in Oz.....ie contract, payment, residence, head office etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'd consult an agent still. Immigration are NOTORIOUS for giving incorrect info out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blewyn Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 I did. Agent was a little less optimistic, but said it could be done as long as work was performed in Australia too...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
