Australia Implements Stricter Changes to Subclass 400 Temporary Work Visa Rules

Australia Implements Stricter Changes to Subclass 400 Temporary Work Visa

The Australian government has recently made some strict changes to the rules related to Subclass 400 temporary work visas. According to the authorities, these changes are intended to make opportunities available for the residents and prevent any misuse.

Understanding the Subclass 400 Visa

The subclass 400 visa deals with the short-term stay for foreign workers working in highly specialised work. Earlier, these visa rules allowed the worker to stay in the country for six months in twelve months. However, the recent changes have brought this duration to three months in twelve months.

Foreign workers can stay in the country for longer but only with a strong business case or if they are part of a non-ongoing and highly specialised job. There is a processing fee for the subclass 400 visa that starts at AU$ 415, which more or less amounts to ₹23,869.

Changes That Concerns You

Of all the recent changes in the subclass 400 visa rules, here are some changes you need to worry about:

Applicants Less Likely to Get a 6-month Visa Duration

With the new changes in the subclass 400 visa rules, candidates from countries with lower incomes than Australia are less likely to get a 6-month stay. You might also be affected if your employer employs multiple different contracts. Lastly, if you are a low-skilled worker for a job role under the ANZSCO level 5 or 4, then the chances of you getting the six-month extension are slim.
