Applicant Obligations

If the visa application for a temporary visa is approved, the following conditions will apply to you.

If the visa was granted to enable you to be employed in Australia, you must not do any of the following:

• stop working for the employer who sponsored them (that is, become unemployed or change employer)
• work in a different position other than the position that was nominated in the visa application
• work for another person or for themselves while working for the sponsor.

If the sponsor ceases your employment, you must do one of the following:

• find another employer who is willing to sponsor you; or
• leave Australia within 28 days unless your visa expires before that time, in which case you must leave Australia prior to visa expiry.

If you have entered Australia under a nomination arrangement you can change the nominated position or sponsor by having a new nomination approved.

You must maintain adequate health insurance whilst in Australia and holding a temporary resident visa.

There may be other conditions of your entry and stay in Australia not discussed here. If so, these will be explained to you when you are granted the visa.

Before lodging an application, please read all related obligation requirements.
