Can a 400 visa in Australia be transferred to a 482 visa?

* * Australian 400 visa cannot be directly transferred to 482 visa * *.

Australia 400 visa is a short-term professional work visa, which allows the holder to work in Australia for no more than 6 months. Visa 482 is an employer-sponsored visa, which needs to be applied in or outside Australia. Applicants need to pass the English language test to meet other requirements of the Australian Immigration Bureau.

Although these two kinds of visas are different in nature, you can apply for a 482 visa through other channels. If the holder of a 400 visa can find a job that meets the Australian government's skills shortage list and the employer is willing to provide a guarantee, then he can apply for a 482 visa.

So simply speaking, it is impossible to directly convert a 400 visa into a 482 visa, but you can apply for a 482 visa through an employer guarantee that meets certain conditions. The specific conditions include that the employer meets the relevant guarantee requirements and the applicant's position meets the Australian government's skills shortage list.
