Australia Training Visa — overview

The Australia Training visa (subclass 407) is a temporary visa for workplace-based occupational training that improves your skills for your current job, your field of tertiary study or your area of expertise, or for a professional development training program. It can be granted for up to 2 years.

This page is provided for awareness only. The Training visa is sponsor-driven and work-related: it requires an approved temporary-activities sponsor and, in most cases, an approved nomination before you can apply. Lifeset Overseas does not process work-related visas — they fall under a separate licensing regime we do not hold.

If your goal is to build skills and a future abroad, talk to us about a study visa — a route we can fully and honestly support, and one that can lead to strong outcomes in its own right.

Frequently asked questions

  • No. The Training visa (subclass 407) is a work-related, sponsor-driven visa and requires a separate licence we do not hold. This page is informational only.

  • The sponsoring organisation does — it must be an approved temporary-activities sponsor and, in most cases, must have an approved nomination before you can apply.

  • We can fully support an Australian student visa, a visitor visa, and partner and family visas. Speak to us for an honest assessment of your options.

A real way forward

Work visas aren’t our licence — a real route to Australia is.

Employer-driven work visas need a separate licence we don't hold — so this page is information only. But if your real goal is to build a future in Australia, we can help with a study route, a family route, or permanent residency where it exists. Talk to us and we'll map the honest path that actually works for you.

  • Honest route mapping

    We assess your profile and show you which Australia pathway can realistically work for you.

  • A file built to win

    Study, family or PR — whichever route fits, we build and stress-test the documents properly.

  • One consultant, end to end

    The same person stays with your case from the first call to the decision.

  • Licensed & honest

    A Government-of-Punjab licensed consultancy. We never take a case we believe will fail.

Before you pay anyone for a Australia work permit

Only a firm holding an MEA Recruiting Agent licence may recruit you for overseas employment. That register is public, and checking it takes about a minute — it is the single thing that separates a legitimate agent from the people this route is famous for.

  • Ask for the RA licence number and look it up on the Ministry of External Affairs’ own eMigrate portal. A genuine agent will give it without being pushed.
  • A licensed agent’s fee is capped by law and receipted. Nobody legitimate asks for cash with no paperwork.
  • No agent can promise you a job offer, and an offer letter that arrives before any interview is the oldest warning sign there is.
  • Never hand over your original passport. Not to them, and not to us.

For information only — we do not handle work permits. Lifeset Overseas does not process work permits for Australia or any other country: that requires an MEA Recruiting Agent licence under the Emigration Act, which we do not hold. Our licence (No. 849/DC/PTA/PLA/LC-3/2024) covers visa consultancy and travel services. We can explain how this route works and how to check somebody who says they can do it — we cannot apply for it on your behalf, and we will not take a fee for trying.

Most people who ask us about work permits are really asking about something else.

A course with a post-study work route often reaches the same place, legally, through a door we can open for you — and it is a route nobody can take your money for and disappear. If you tell us what you are actually trying to achieve, we will tell you honestly whether that fits, including when it does not.

Or read the study visa route first — no phone number required.
