When you have a 482 visa, you have visa conditions you need to meet.

DO Obey Australian laws

DO Tell us if things change

Things you need to let us know about include:

    • changes to your phone number, email, address or passport
    • changes to your employer
    • changes to your employment status including promotions and changes in hours
    • changes to your relationship status
    • the birth of a child.

       

DO Check how long you can stay

The 482 visa is a temporary visa.

To see when you must leave, see your grant letter or use VEVO. If you want to explore ways of staying in Australia longer, start the process months before your visa is due to expire.

Don’t overstay your visa. Staying longer

If your visa is expiring and you want to keep working in Australia for your employer:

    • your employer will need to submit a new nomination
    • you must apply for a new visa.

No, you can’t stay longer by extending the visa.

Travelling on your visa

You can travel to and from Australia as many times as you want while the visa is valid.

Time spent outside Australia does not extend your length of stay in Australia.

Proving you have a visa

To prove you have a visa and show your conditions to someone, use VEVO.

Working

Usually you can only work for the business that sponsored you. If your sponsor is an Australian business, you can work for that business or one of its associated entities.

When you work in Australia, you are protected by Australian workplace law. See your workplace rights and entitlements.

Options if you have lost your job

If you have been laid off and are currently unemployed, you have up to 180 days to find a new employer or make arrangements to leave Australia.
