Primary
482 visa holders are allowed to change sponsors (employers)
after the grant of their 482 visa. To do so, they have to ensure
that they comply with the requirements outlined in this article so
they are not in breach of the work restrictions (
condition 8607) imposed on their visa.
Process to change sponsors on a 482 visa
There are many reasons why 482 visa holders may want to change
sponsors such as receiving a better offer from a different
employer, termination of employment or they are simply looking for
a change.
From a sponsor's perspective
The new sponsor must be willing to lodge a new nomination to
transfer the time remaining on the main applicant's visa under
the 482 visa program. The new sponsor will be required to be an
approved sponsor by the Department of Home Affairs.
