Changes to Training visa (subclass 407) application rules from 12 November 2026
Subclass 407 · Training visa
Updated version
In short: from 12 November 2026, you must be outside Australia when you apply for a Training visa (subclass 407) and when it is granted.
What changed
• Applicants must be outside Australia when they lodge the application and when the visa is granted.
• An application lodged while in Australia will be invalid, and that invalidity cannot be reviewed on its merits.
• An application lodged outside Australia does not give you a bridging visa. You can still travel to Australia on another valid visa while it is processed.
Who it affects
People planning to apply for a Training visa, and the organisations that sponsor and nominate them.
Key dates
• Announced by Home Affairs: 30 October 2026
• Regulations registered: 30 October 2026 (Migration Amendment (Training Visas—Application Requirements) Regulations 2026, F2026L01449)
• In force from: 12 November 2026
• Applications lodged before 12 November 2026 are assessed under the rules that applied when they were lodged.
