Is a Subclass 462 visa for Indians?

A Subclass 462 visa allows Indians to stay and work in Australia for one year. The Australian government recently added India to the list of countries and allotted 1000 visa slots.

 

Indian citizen’s aged 18-30 years are eligible for the visa application process for a Subclass 462 visa. Subclass 462 visas allow working foreign nationals from India to visit Australia for one year, enabling them to work or study short-term while enjoying their holiday. During this time, they can work across different sectors, study for up to four months, and leave and re-enter the country multiple times.
