What is Sub Class Visa 476 ?
Australian Working Visa Subclass 476 is specifically created for skilled engineering students and it provides the opportunity to a fresh engineering graduate to be able to not only study in Australia but also live and work in the country without a problem for about 18 months. By having this visa in your hand as a foreign student you can explore higher possibilities in education while also working and living a good life in Australia without any obligations.
This is a temporary visa and you will be required to apply for another visa once this expires in the time of 18 months. You can also add your family members in the application who can later apply after they meet Australia’s health and character requirements. Your family can join in Australia as a subsequent entrant.
