If you are currently applying for a 457 visa you need to be aware of changes to the 8107 condition.
These changes have reduced the time period that a Subclass 457 (Temporary Work (Skilled) visa holder can remain in Australia after ceasing employment with their current sponsor from 90 days to 60 days.
If 457 holder does not find a new sponsor within 60 days of ceasing that employment, they will be in breach of their visa condition 8107 and their visa may be cancelled.
This amendment only applies to 457 visas granted on or after 19 November 2016
457 to cease March 2018. In addition 200 occupations have been removed from the list of valid occupations for 457 applications. The 457 is to be replaced by two new visa types. One short term for up to two years with a single extension of two years with no transition pathway to permanent. The new longer term replacement visa will be for four years and will have transition to permanency arrangements. The Government has yet to make all details available.
