Amanda Hoffner Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 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.

VERYSTORMY Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 In theory yes. However, you won't be able to apply by the end of the month as for a 186 you would need a skills assessment. This takes longer than you have left to get. I also doubt you will be able to lodge a 457 application by then. I would speak to a good registered migration agent about this though and any options.
