Preparing for your visa application

All of our clients sponsor overseas employers to work in our Australian business under the subclass 457 business visa. The business visa is a temporary visa and is valid for up to four years, however may be renewed prior to the expiry of the visa for additional four-year periods.

CONDITIONS ATTACHED TO THE VISA

The sponsored subclass 457 business visa is issued with condition �8107�. This means that the visa holder must not cease to be employed by the sponsoring employer; work in a position or occupation inconsistent with the position or occupation which was specified in the business visa sponsorship application; or work for themselves, another person or another company. Dependents on this visa can work where they choose.
