Rule Changes

Administers the subclass 407 visa and published the offshore lodgement guidance

Since 12 November 2026, a person inside Australia cannot lodge a valid Training visa (subclass 407) application. The visa must be applied for and granted while the applicant is outside the country. The regulations let the minister name exempt classes in a separate legislative instrument, and no such instrument was available when the rule commenced.
