New Visa Arrangements

New visa arrangements for people working in Australia’s offshore oil and gas industry

Source: www.immi.gov.au

From 31 March 2015, new visa arrangements came into effect for non-citizens other than permanent residents intending to work in Australia’s offshore oil and gas industry.

People intending to work on resources installations should hold either a Subclass 457 Temporary Work (Skilled) visa or a Subclass 400 Temporary Work (Short Stay Activity) visa.

People who are participating in, or supporting, an offshore resources activity from a vessel will be granted the Special Purpose Visa by operation of law.

For more information see Working in Australia’s offshore oil and gas industry.
