407 Visa: Training Visa (Subclass 407)

The 407 Training Visa is a temporary visa designed for individuals seeking to undertake occupational training or professional development in Australia. It is ideal for those who need practical experience for registration or to build capacity in their occupation.

Streams Available Under the 407 Visa

There are three distinct training streams:

• Training for Registration: For applicants needing hands-on experience to meet professional registration or licensing requirements in their field.
• Occupational Training: On-the-job training to enhance skills in a listed occupation.
• Capacity Building Training: Supports skill development for professionals from overseas.

Fransvic Migration primarily assists with applications under the registration and occupational training streams.
