EMC Australia / Subclass 407
Workplace training or professional development — with an approved sponsor.
The Training visa (subclass 407) is for workplace-based training or professional development with an approved sponsor. From 12 November 2026 you must be outside Australia when you apply and when the visa is granted. Home Affairs says an application made in Australia from that date is invalid, even if ImmiAccount accepts it.
It is not a 482 by another name, and it is not a student 500. The training has to be real. If the role is ordinary work, this is the wrong visa.

How it works
What this visa asks of you
These are the parts of this visa, in the order they usually matter.
Sponsor
The organisation
Approved sponsor and nomination
The sponsor has to be approved for 407. The nomination describes the training, not a job ad.
A full-time production role dressed as training is how 407s are refused.
In or from outside Australia
Your 407 visa
The training plan, your background, health and character.
This does not become 482 automatically when the training ends.

Training or work
If they need you to do the job, the visa is usually 482. If they need to train you, 407 can be real. We will not mix them.
