A New Way to Fast track Overseas Workers

It’s no secret that businesses around Australia are crying out for talented staff.

The problem is that this high level of demand is not confined to Australia – pretty much every country is looking for more skilled workers right now.

Fortunately, there is a way that you can beat the competition to attract the most highly skilled talent the world has to offer.

It’s called the 400 Visa and it enables Australian employers and recruiters to get overseas workers started in a role ASAP.

The 400 visa is available to those who:

  • have highly specialised skills, knowledge or experience that can help Australian business and can’t reasonably be found in Australia, and
  • only do the work or activities for which the visa is granted.

The 400 Visa can be granted for three to six months (depending on the circumstances), giving your international worker the chance to apply for a 482 Visa while on the ground contributing to your business.

Important to know is that labour market testing and training levies are not requirements for a 400 Visa. And impressively, once the main applicant pays an application fee of AU$315, it can take as little as two weeks from lodgement for their visa application to be processed.
