I have tried the immigration website for the details of this, but there's so much knowledge on here, I bet someone here knows the answer to my question.

I am not sure things are going well with my current employer. I know I can change sponsor, to an eligible employer within 28 days of elaving my current one. I know I don't have to go through a whole new application.

But should I decide to seek a new 457 sponsor, would they have any large fees associated with taking on my visa?

From what I have read here and on the DIAC site, all I can gather is that I call DIAC, fill out a form and provided they are eligible, the new employer confirms they will take on the time left on my 457.

Just trying to see what my options are

I don't know about the costs associated with taking the visa over, but this visa is not a very expensive one anyway. So even worst case scenario is not too bad, see link for costs.

If it were me and I were desperate to leave employer but stay in Australia, I would just offer to pay it myself should that be a sticking point.

Thank you so much! Sometimes when someone else just gives their view it's like "Of course! They speak sense! Why didn't I see that possibility?"
