Question

Does visa457 sponsorship in Australia give me good chance to get permanent residency?

Answer 1

Currently if you work for 2 years on the 457 you are then eligible to apply for permanent residency (your employer must sponsor you for this as well). If you have changed employers during the 2 years, you must have been with your current employer for at least 1 year. If you are really keen to pursue PR, you should probably discuss with your future employer whether they are willing to do this in the future. For full details go to immi.gov.au
