Default 457 visa - can you go on a one way flight ticket?

Does anyone know? or does it have to be a return ticket as it is a temp visa

As did we. We also got the larger baggage allowance even though 457 holders supposedly don't qualify. Good thing really as I think we had almost double our baggage weight allowance

457s can be up to 4 years in length - you cannot get a return that will stay open for that long, 12months is the max.
So yes, you can buy a one way ticket!

Hi,

I came over on a 457 and 1 way flight. It was cheaper and also allows baggage of 40Kg instead of 20kg.

What airline gave you the 40kg baggage allowance on a 457?

We came over on a one way ticket on a student visa so cant see prob with a 457.

We flew Singapore and although we didnt get 40kg on the ticket, we smiled sweetly at the check-in girl when she raised her eyebrows at our 40kg+ cases and said 'we're emigrating'. 'Lucky you!' she replied and sent them through with a 'heavy luggage' label on, no extra charge or anything. Mind you were were first in the queue and had been there for an hour before they opened!
