Frustrated with processing times of 457 visa?

On a daily basis we assist many businesses whom have gone through substantial efforts to recruit the right person to fill in a time critical position in their business. They often look at the pool of available talent overseas only to get hit by the immigration formalities of relocating that talent.
The time it takes to put documents together and the time it takes by the Immigration Department to process a visa application often causes those businesses to lose contracts. Lost revenue is often as high as thousands of dollars per day.

The type of talent that is usually sponsored on a 457 visa are highly specialised professionals who cannot afford delayed relocation and are often required to commence work immediately.

It is now possible to allow those businesses to bring in their required task force on a short-term work visa which is known as the Temporary Work (Short Stay Activity) visa (subclass 400) and sometimes this can be converted to a Temporary Work (Long Stay Activity) visa (subclass 457) once the candidate is in Australia.

The Subclass 400 is a short-term work visa designed for professionals living overseas to arrive in Australia to perform temporary, highly specialised non-ongoing work. This visa, when presented professionally, can be decided within as little as 1-2 days by the immigration department and allows professionals to travel to Australia and work for up to 3 months (under limited circumstances up to 6 months).

This short term work visa is also a good tool for businesses that are uncertain about appointing a new staff member who is from overseas.

Call us today if you are an Australian business who wishes to hire from the overseas talent pool and wish to have a clear idea on how to proceed with this work. Our friendly and highly specialised team of migration practitioners can walk you through every stage while you remain focused on your business.
