coryashton Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hey guys...I'm a little confused with the whole visa process and everything changing recently.I came out to Australia at the beginning of May to work for a company who would sponsor me on a 457 visa. What is the process now this visa has been scrapped? Has it been replaced by a similar visa? Keen to figure out what route I need to go down. Cheers!

VERYSTORMY Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 If you have a current 457 visa, then the visa continues. What may have changed is your ability to stay beyond your 457 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryashton Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 I don't have the 457 yet, it was going to be applied for after a few months of me being here...what happens in that situation? Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 the 457 still exists and is still being given until next year. However, a number of occupations have been removed or are only eligible for a 2 year visa. I am guessing you are on a working holiday visa? What is your occupation?
