What Is a 476 Visa?


This is a specific work visa suitable for you if you are a recent graduate who got an engineering degree. A 476 visa allows you to work, live, and study in Australia for a time period, but to get this visa, you need to have a degree from a recognized institution within the past 2 years, and be under 31 years of age.
