Changes to Temporary Work and Activity Visas in November
Those interested in Australia’s temporary work and activity visa options may want to stay tuned for upcoming changes on 19 November 2016.
From this date, the Department of Immigration and Border Protection will commence its new Temporary Activity Visa Framework, which will condense seven existing work visa and activity visas down to four.
There will be new regulations under the four temporary work and activity visas, some of which the Government is yet to announce.
The new framework will integrate some of the existing temporary activity visa classes into the following four visas:
Subclass 400 Temporary Work (Short Stay Specialist) – to be used for ‘highly specialised work’
Subclass 403 Temporary Work (International Relations) – available to coaches, sporting clubs and adjudicators
Subclass 407 Training – to have a maximum 24 month stay
Subclass 408 Temporary Activity – to be used for trade agreements, domestic work and seasonal worker programs.
