Some will pay it, others will not. If your employer is not paying it then yes, you need to pay it if you want a visa, it is up to you of course. You could just turn the job down, but visas are not free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus any medicals or police checks required. Be warned, the fees may well go up on July 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbro Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 We are looking into going 457, what is the breakdown of the fees as I thought the visa for 2 adults totalled $2070 - your price is an extra $1330 which we hadn't included?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks There is an extra $700 per applicant if already in Australia on certain visas, like a working holiday visa for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strods Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 To be honest the money isnt a problem, like i said in my original post i was just uner the impression the employer paid for the full process. if we have to pay then thats how it is. Thank you for your reply and shedding some light on to this for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
