AUSTRALIAN TEMPORARY BUSINESS LONG STAY VISA BASIC REQUIREMENTS
In order to qualify for a Temporary Business Long Stay visa (Subclass 457) you must have an Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you as part of the application process. There are three mandatory requirements:
1. Sponsorship
Employers wishing to bring staff from overseas need to seek approval as a business sponsor. A business will be approved for a specified number of temporary business entrants over a 2 year period.
2. Nomination
Employers need to nominate each of the positions they wish to fill with a temporary resident. The nomination must relate to an occupation which meets a minimum skills threshold covering managerial, professional, associate professional and trade occupations. The nominated position must also be paid a minimum salary level as specified in a Gazette Notice.
3. Visa Application
The person identified to fill the vacancy must apply for a Temporary Business Long Stay visa (Subclass 457) to enter and remain in Australia. They will need to demonstrate that they have skills to match that of the nominated vacancy and must be offered employment at not less than the salary indicated in the nomination application.
The applicant is also required to satisfy certain health and character requirements to meet the visa criteria.
