Attention Foreign Companies Doing Business in
Australia

• If you are doing business in Australia and need
  to bring over skilled employees to assist your
  clients or to run your operations in Australia,
  heres how you can do it for the short term or
  the long-term! Foreign firms doing business in
  Australia often need to bring in specialised
  skilled workers to support their business in
  Australia.

• For instance, companies selling specialised
  equipment, building manufacturing plans, offering
  aftersales support and or training can benefit by
  bringing workers that are skilled in the
  implementation of their products or services.

4

• For workers that need to be in Australia for 46
  days or less there is the 400 class temporary
  stay visa. This is a quick application for
  workers going to perform specific specialised
  tasks that cannot easily be fulfilled by local
  workers. There is a small application charge and
  a decision from the DIBP (Department of
  Immigration and Boarder Protection) can generally
  be expected in a matter of days.

5

• For longer stays there is the 457 Temporary Work
  Skilled visa, valid for 4 years and renewable for
  an additional 4 years. 457 workers must be
  deployed under a Standard Business Sponsorship
  (SBS) granted by the Australian government to the
  Australian or foreign company.One of the key
  requirements for a Standard Business Sponsorship,
  or SBS, is meeting the training expenditure
  requirement.

6

• However, companies that do not have a formal
  presence in the country are exempt from this
  requirement. The sponsorship is good for 3 years
  and can be renewed.Some of the requirements for
  foreign businesses include 2 years of audited
  financial statements, company registration and
  business profile information from the home
  country authorities and your Australian business
  plan.

7

• Also a copy of the contract and an invitation
  from the firm you are doing business with.The
  nomination and visa applications and requirements
  are similar to those of workers going to
  Australian business sponsors. For more details
