482 - My Company Is Changing It’s Name

Recommended Posts

I’m on a 482 short term visa. It’s a 2 year visa and my employer can renew it for another 2. I’m a year into the visa so in a years time they will be renewing it (they’ve already said they will). However, in about 8 months time the company is changing its name. Two of the manager’s who work there have bought the company and are going to change the name. Do I need to do anything regarding this? Is it going to affect the length of my visa at all? I’m a bit worried.

Hello,

Sorry I'm unable to answer your question but I was just wondering if your visa was one you decided to go for and looked for a temp job over there or if your current workplace in the UK offered you a position. I would love to find a company in UK which also offered temp job transfer to Australia! 

Thank you!

If they are just changing the name but the ABN remains the same, then it is legally the same company, so I think you should be OK.  But if I were you, I would book a quick consultation with a migration agent to be on the safe side.
