Subclass 400 is normally the most appropriate visa to apply for if your employee’s intention is to complete short-term, highly skilled work in Australia.
However, it doesn’t suit every situation and we highly recommend that you discuss the details of the visit with us before applying for this or any type of visa.
Please note: An ETA or eVisitor allows for business activities – for example, a conference, to receive training, or a business meeting – but does not allow work.

Australian visa applications FAQs
Here are visa FAQs we often receive about Australian visas – and if you have a question that isn’t covered, please contact us.
Yes, you are able to apply for an Australian visitor visa from within New Zealand. However, your NZ visa status may affect the way your application is assessed. For example, if you hold a New Zealand visitor visa your chances of obtaining an Australian visitor visa will be generally lower than that of a permanent New Zealand resident.
The Special Category Visa (or Subclass 444 visa) allows NZ citizens to live and work in Australia as long as they are not considered to be of health or character concern. However, this visa will not normally lead to residency. New Zealand citizens would need to apply for residency just like any other nationality.
If you are considering making the move to Australia, it’s best to check your residency options with us first.
