helent113 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hello, I am a registered nurse currently looking for sponsorship in Australia on a subclass 457 visa. I see that it says you have to work for a minimum 12 months. Does anyone know if you can leave a sponsored job before your initial 12 months is done? and if yes, are there any charges/rules etc. Thanks!

surflen22 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I think you might want to check out the rules and regs a little more closely. A 457 visa limits you to ONLY the sponsoring employer. If you want to change jobs, you need to find a new sponsor. Your visa will be limited to the duration specified at application time. Depending on your situation, you MIGHT have a route to PR.

Joebloggs Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 The length of a 457 can be anything between 1 day and 4 years. Depends on how long the job is specified for, if you leave your sponsor you have 28 days to find a new sponsor or leave the country. If you want to eventually get PR you have to apply for it.
