Subclass 457 Visa Overview
The Temporary Work (Skilled) visa, also known as subclass 457, gives skilled individuals the opportunity to come to Australia and work for an approved company for a period of up to:
- four years after it has been granted to you, provided that your occupation is included on the MLTSSL.
- if your occupation is on the list of eligible skilled occupations but is not listed on the MLTSSL, you will be eligible for a work permit for a period of two years after the permit has been granted.
To be eligible for this visa, you must have been sponsored and nominated by an approved employer in Australia.
