The Migration Amendment (Training Visas—Sponsorship Requirements) Regulations 2026 introduce amendments affecting the validity requirements for Subclass 407 (Training) visa applications.
Under the revised requirements, a valid Subclass 407 visa application must now include:
- an approved temporary activities sponsor; and
- Where the sponsor is not a Commonwealth agency, the applicant must also have a current and approved nomination for a program of occupational training.
The legislative instrument was registered on the Federal Register of Legislation, and the amendments commenced on 11 March 2026. The new requirements apply to all Subclass 407 visa applications lodged on or after that date.
