The Training visa (subclass 407) is for workplace-based occupational training to improve skills for your current job, a tertiary study area, a field of expertise, or a professional development program in Australia. It is NOT a general work visa — it's strictly for structured training. The visa requires: (1) an approved Temporary Activities sponsor in Australia, (2) an approved nomination (unless the sponsor is a Commonwealth Government Agency), and (3) the applicant's own visa application. Stay up to 2 years.
What it costs
Paid directly to Australia / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per immi.homeaffairs.gov.au, last verified 19 Apr 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
The AUD 430 visa application charge is only the applicant's fee. The Australian sponsor pays separate Temporary Activities sponsorship approval fees (AUD 420+) and nomination fees (AUD 170+). Total employer + employee costs are significantly higher than the AUD 430 headline. Non-refundable regardless of outcome.

Confirmed hotel booking, ₹590 per hotel: message us firstWhere people slip: Skipping it entirely at 65 or over. If a medical examination is triggered, cover strengthens the file.
Where people slip: An itinerary longer than the leave your employer approved in writing.
The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your Australia file — each sold separately.

Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.

Australian organisation applies for Temporary Activities sponsorship
The Australian sponsoring employer must first be approved as a Temporary Activities sponsor by the Department of Home Affairs. This can take weeks.
Sponsor lodges a nomination
Once approved, the sponsor lodges a nomination naming the applicant and describing the training program. The Department must approve this nomination BEFORE the applicant can apply. Commonwealth Government Agencies are exempt from the nomination step.
Applicant creates ImmiAccount
Only after sponsorship and nomination are approved.
Applicant lodges Training visa application
Select 'Training visa (subclass 407)'. Upload training plan, qualifications, English test, health insurance, passport, photo. Pay AUD 430 VAC.

Send us what you have: an offer letter, an email from the employer, or just the facts as they stand. A consultant at our licensed firm will tell you straight what is possible, what is not, and what it would take.
