Changing employers
Hi guys,
A quick question before I start work (for an awful employer).
I'm about to start looking for a new job and I am currently 6 months into a 2nd 457 visa. If I were to change employers, would the new employer have to pay the costs of another visa? Has anyone been through this before?
I have not signed any waivers myself to say that I would cover any costs with my current employer.
Thanks for the help,

Re: Changing employers
It is illegal for an employer to take payments for sponsorship, nomination or related costs from a 457 visa applicant.
